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.
