  2. PERSI reviews and finalizes the account, then sends correspondence to the surviving spouse, estate representative, or estate outlining next steps and documents needed.
  3. Confirm the beneficiary designation on file and ask what survivor or death benefit is payable.
  4. For a Choice 401(k) Plan balance, contact Empower's beneficiary support team at 866-442-3888.

Frequently asked questions

Contact the PERSI Answer Center at 1-800-451-8228 or 208-334-3365. PERSI is not automatically notified of a death, so reporting it promptly starts the survivor and death-benefit process.

The benefit that continues depends on the payment option the retiree elected at retirement. A surviving beneficiary may receive a continuing monthly allowance or a lump sum, and any payment issued after the date of death must be returned to PERSI.

The Choice 401(k) Plan is administered by Empower. Beneficiaries contact Empower's beneficiary support team at 866-442-3888 to begin the claim, separate from the PERSI Base Plan survivor process.
