Death benefits are paid when a member dies while in service or within five years of becoming a pensioner. The GPAA also pays annuities to the surviving spouse(s) or orphan(s) of members who die while in service or after retiring.

Detailed information regarding death benefits is available under the ‘Our benefits’ section of the GEPF website at www.gepf.gov.za..
