Death Benefits During Employment
Value of Death Benefit
What is the value of my death benefit?
The estimated value of your death benefit is noted on your Statement of Account. If your account is not vested, your death benefit equals your total contributions and interest. If you are vested, the death benefit value, also known as the present value, is determined by your years of credited service, final average salary, and age at death. Before a death benefit is issued, PSERS deducts any debts remaining from your account. Your death benefit is calculated as follows:
Class T-D & Class T-F Members 2.5% for school service*
X Final Average Salary X Credited Service X Early Retirement Factor
(if applicable) X Dollar Annuity Value
Death Benefit Value
Class T-C & Class T-E Members 2.0% for all service
X Final Average Salary X Credited Service X Early Retirement Factor
(if applicable) X Dollar Annuity Value
Death Benefit Value
* Class T-D multiplier is 2.5% for school service and 2.0% for any non-school service. Non-school service consists of non-intervening military, government, out-of-state, county commissioner, county nurse, maternity, and cadet nurse corps.
