Steps to take

  1. Identify whether the deceased was an active or retired member of URS, and which system or savings plan they participated in.
  2. Report the death to the URS Retirement Benefits Department at 801-366-7770 so pension payments stop.
  3. Confirm the beneficiary designation on file and ask what survivor allowance, lump-sum death benefit, or savings-plan distribution is payable.
  4. File the survivor or death-benefit claim with the documents URS requires, including a certified death certificate.

Frequently asked questions

Contact the Utah Retirement Systems Retirement Benefits Department at 801-366-7770 (or 800-695-4877 toll free). URS administers the pension and savings plans for Utah state, school district, and local government employees and handles survivor and death-benefit claims.

The benefit that continues depends on the payment option the retiree elected at retirement. A surviving beneficiary may receive a continuing monthly allowance, a period-certain payment, or no continuing benefit if a single-life option was elected.

URS may pay a survivor allowance or refund of contributions to the spouse or designated beneficiary of an active member who dies before retirement. The amount depends on the system, the member's service, and the beneficiary designation on file.
