Benefits Provided to Your Family If You Pass Away
Should you pass away while receiving Group LTD benefits, Prudential will pay your eligible survivor a benefit equal to 3 months of your gross disability payment, upon receiving proof that you have passed away.
Payment will be made to your spouse or civil union partner, as long as your spouse or civil union partner was not separated from you at the time of your death. If your spouse or civil union partner has predeceased you, payment will be made in equal shares to your surviving children. Payment may also be made to the guardian of a minor child, at the plan's discretion. If you have no eligible survivors, payment will be made to your estate, unless there is none. In this case, no payment will be made.
Please Note: Prudential will first apply the survivor benefit to any overpayment that may exist on your claim.
