Reporting a Death


Often, an active member’s employer will notify the Retirement Systems of the member’s death; however, it is always a good idea to contact the Retirement Systems upon the death of a member whether the member is active or retired.

You may notify us initially by e-mail, by telephone at (800) 868-9002 (within SC only) or at (803) 737-6800, or in writing at PO Box 11960, Columbia, SC 29211-1960. Please be prepared to provide the member’s name, Social Security number, date of death, and the appropriate contact name, address, and phone number.

Upon notification of a death, the Retirement Systems will send the necessary forms to you for completion. Please remember to include all documentation requested when you file your claim.

If you have any questions or need additional information, please contact the Retirement Systems.

Use our calculators to see what it would cost to purchase additional service credit, or to estimate your retirement benefit.
