     Survivor Benefits
   

  • Factors Effecting Payable Benefits
    In many instances, benefits are payable to the survivors of public employees who are members of a Massachusetts contributory retirement system at the time of their death. The amount of benefits payable in any particular instance depends on a number of factors including:
    •   the length of the member’s creditable service,
    •   the eligibility of the member’s immediate family, and
    •   the cause of the member’s death.


  • Guide to Survivor Benefits
    Please refer to PERAC’s Guide to Survivor Benefits. Retirement board staff members are also available to interpret the specifics of the law and to assist you.
