There may be additional survivor benefits available for your family. Under the College retirement programs, a death benefit is sometimes payable. Eligibility for survivor benefits depends on the program and the length of time you have been a participant. Also, if you were participating in the voluntary Tax Deferred Annuity program, your accumulated benefit will be paid to your survivors. Finally, Social Security will pay a survivor benefit in certain situations.

For more details about these potential benefits, see the Retirement Programs chapter of this Handbook (next section), or contact your Human Resources Administrator.
