Frequently asked questions

Report the death to the Division of Retirement, which administers the Florida Retirement System, at 1-844-377-1888 or 850-907-6500. Have the member's name, date of death, and FRS ID or Social Security number ready.

The benefit that continues depends on the payment option the retiree elected at retirement. Option 1 pays nothing after death; Options 2, 3, and 4 continue payments to a beneficiary or joint annuitant for a set period or for life, depending on the option.

For a vested member, a joint annuitant may elect a lifetime monthly benefit calculated as if the member had retired. For a non-vested member, the named beneficiary receives a refund of the member's personal contributions.
