| What if I die before
I retire? |
If you die before your
pension begins and you are vested, your beneficiary will receive a pre-retirement
death benefit. |
| What if I die after I retire? |
If you have already retired from Trinity
Health and have begun receiving your pension benefit as an annuity, your named
survivor would continue receiving the pension benefit if the benefit option you
elected allowed for a survivor benefit. |
| If I'm married, what happens
if I die and I haven't elected a beneficiary? |
If you do not have a beneficiary on
file, your spouse will automatically receive your vested benefit. |
| If I'm not married, what happens
to my retirement benefits if I die? |
If you are not married, your vested benefit will be paid
to the beneficiary or beneficiaries you have selected on your beneficiary election
form. If you have not filled out a form, your benefit will be paid to your estate. |
