Steps to take

  1. Confirm the deceased was a member of the New Hampshire Retirement System.
  2. Report the death to NHRS so any pension payments stop.
  3. Ask NHRS to identify the beneficiary on file and what survivor or death benefit is payable.
  4. File the survivor or death-benefit claim with the documents NHRS requires.

Frequently asked questions

Contact the New Hampshire Retirement System at 603-410-3500 or 877-600-0158. NHRS handles survivor and death-benefit claims for state and local public employees, teachers, police, and firefighters.

The beneficiary receives a refund of the member's accumulated contributions. Depending on the member's service and whether the death was job-related, an ordinary or accidental death benefit may also be payable, and a pre-selected maximum Survivorship Option can provide a lifetime pension.

The benefit that continues depends on the payment option the retiree elected at retirement. A surviving beneficiary may receive a continuing monthly allowance under a survivorship or period-certain option, or a lump sum, depending on that election.
