Death Benefits

What happens to my pension benefit if I die before I retire?

If you are not vested in your pension benefit and you die before you retire, no benefit is payable to your beneficiary. If you are vested in your pension benefit and you die before you retire, your beneficiary will receive a pre-retirement death benefit from the Plan. Please see the Plan Summary for more information about a pre-retirement death benefit.

What happens to my pension benefit if I die after I start receiving my benefit?

If you die after you start receiving your pension benefit, your beneficiary may receive a pension benefit, depending on the type of benefit you selected at retirement. Please see the Plan Summary for more information, or contact the Fund Office by email or phone (888.462.6666).
