<\/a>Death in Service<\/strong><\/span><\/h1>\n
\n

Context: <\/strong> When a death-in-service occurs, a Death Gratuity benefit is usually payable to the deceased member’s estate. Separately, a Spouse\/Civil Partner Pension and a Child Pension(s) may also be payable to eligible beneficiaries if the deceased member had completed at least 2 years (Vesting Period) as a member of the Scheme.<\/p>\n

Resource Toolkit: <\/strong>The resources provided in the table below may be used when a Scheme member dies in service. Please note that the Process Maps should be read with the Process Guidelines.<\/p>\n

Note: <\/strong>The items below are suggested resources and their use is not mandatory. Organisations are free to continue to use their own, existing resources or to amend the resources below as they see fit.<\/p>\n

If your organisation is partnered with a Shared Services Centre for HR, Pensions or Payroll purposes, you may need to clarify with them what elements of work, (if any), that they have been resourced to undertake on your behalf.<\/p>\n
