Death benefits

As a deferred member you still get valuable protection for your family if you die.

Your beneficiaries will be paid a lump sum death benefit, and your dependant(s) could receive a dependant’s pension. If you’re not married or in a civil partnership, you can nominate someone else to receive the dependant’s pension.

Make sure the death benefit lump sum is going to the right person

You can nominate more than one person and indicate what percentage you’d like them to receive. To let us know who you’d like to receive the lump sum, or to update your beneficiaries at any time:

Nominate someone to receive a dependant’s pension

If you’re not married or in a civil partnership, you can nominate:

a partner
an aged parent
a disabled child who isn’t able to support themselves financially.

In the event of your death, the people you have nominated will need to provide evidence of their financial dependency or interdependency.

Please note that a dependant’s pension is paid if certain criteria are met; completion of the form does not guarantee a dependant’s pension can be paid.
