In the unfortunate circumstances that an LGPS member passes away whilst in active employment there are a few steps that must be followed to ensure that the members’ record is closed, and any eligible death benefits are paid.
The LGPS provides valuable life cover and financial protection for members and their families. For information of potential benefits payable, please refer to Death Benefits – still paying in.
Process requirements
It is required that you notify the Fund via an Exit interface (further information for which can be found here), submitting the following documents using a document upload workflow:
- Copy of Death certificate
- Copy of Birth certificate
- Copy of marriage/civil partnership certificate (if applicable)
- Copy of eligible children’s Birth certificate (if applicable)
- Statutory notification (template found in downloads section)
- Form PP2 (completed by the member's spouse/eligible cohabiting partner and eligible children)
Once the exit interface and associated documentation has been submitted to the Fund, we can arrange to process accordingly and reach out to the members Next of Kin (NOK).
Please refer to the LGPS website for further information on the benefits payable to members.
