We are deeply sorry for your loss.
To report the death of an ACERA member or a
beneficiary receiving a monthly retirement or
continuance payment, you may call ACERA during our office
hours, or use the form below; we will need answers to a few
questions in order to complete our death benefits process. If you
use the form below, you will automatically receive an email copy
of your submission.
Once we complete our process, we will notify beneficiaries of
death benefits by mail.
We’ve also created a Survivor
Checklist for you.
To report the death of a spouse (who is not
receiving a monthly retirement payment) in order to stop
healthcare insurance, you may report the death by phone call or use the
form below, but please mail us a letter with a copy
of the death certificate (not the original), which we will need
to have on file.
