What do I do when my spouse dies?
Following is information from the Sacramento County Retiree Summary of Benefits website.
Surviving Spouse or Domestic Partner Continuation Coverage
“In the event of the death of a retiree, the surviving spouse, domestic partner beneficiary or minor child who will receive a continuing SCERS pension benefit may be eligible to continue medical and/or dental insurance benefits. Please contact SCERS at (916) 874-9119 or (800) 336-1711 within 30 days of the date of death to determine if retirement benefits can be continued. A surviving spouse/domestic partner beneficiary who is receiving a continuing SCERS pension benefit may add a newly acquired dependent to any plan within 30 days of a “Qualified Status Change Event” or at Open Enrollment. You must contact the Employee Benefits Office to enroll in the medical and/or dental insurance plans.”
If the surviving spouse/domestic partner is not also a Sacramento County Retiree, and he/she wants to remain as an Associate Member of SCREA, he or she may do so by completing the SCREA Membership Application.
