Filing a Claim
After Retirement



Your designated beneficiary or other survivor(s) should notify your retirement system when your death occurs. (Accidental death and dismemberment coverage does not continue after retirement.) The beneficiary(ies) should prt)vide the retirement system with the deceased's name, date of birth, date of death, social security number, and retirement claim number. For Civil Service Retirement System (CSRS) or Federal Employees Retirement System (FERS) retirees, the Office of Personnel Management, Retirement Operations Center, Boyers, PA 16017, should be notified. Your retirement system will supply the proper form for obtaining benefits and inform your survivor(s) where the claim form(s) should be filed. It is the responsibility of the person to whom the benefits are payable to file a claim and to furnish a certified death certificate and any other evidence which may be called for at that time. If you have Option C-Family and an insured family member dies, contact your retirement system r t e c aim rm which contains further instructions for filing a claim.
