Steps to take

  1. Identify which NPERS system the deceased belonged to (State, County, School, Judges, or State Patrol).
  2. Report the death to NPERS so the member's pension payments stop.
  3. Confirm the beneficiary designation on file and ask what survivor or death benefit is payable.
  4. File the survivor or death-benefit claim with the documents NPERS requires.

Frequently asked questions

Contact Nebraska Public Employees Retirement Systems (NPERS) at 800-245-5712. NPERS runs the State, County, School, Judges, and State Patrol retirement systems and handles survivor and death-benefit claims.

It depends on the payment option the retiree elected. A single-life option ends at the retiree's death, while a 50%, 75%, or 100% joint and survivor option continues that share to the surviving beneficiary for life.

A death benefit may be payable to the beneficiary on file when an active member dies before retirement. Every NPERS member completes a beneficiary designation directing how any death benefit is distributed.
