If a survivor benefit will not be paid on your account, a prorated portion of your defined benefit for the month of your death will be paid to your estate. Any contributions that have not been paid in retirement benefits will be paid to your beneficiary. If your named beneficiaries have all predeceased you, remaining contributions will be paid to your estate. Amounts you owe the department, if any, will be subtracted from your account prior to payments being made to your beneficiary or estate.
