Death of Member

Overview

We understand this is a tough time. Let us help you with making decisions about the MEPP account.

If a member passes away prior to retirement, there are considerations and decisions to make regarding the MEPP pension benefit.

Notify us and the member's employer of the death. The employer will need to send an official notice to MEPP and we can get the process started.
