This page provides information about what happens when an OMEGS member passes away. To pay out the death benefit from the Old Mutual SuperFund Pension Fund, the SuperFund Trustees must make sure that all the people who depended on the member are fairly considered and protected. They must try to identify everyone who depended on the member for financial support, all dependants, and anyone whom the member had a legal responsibility to support. They need to understand how each person relied financially on the deceased member.
You can watch a short VIDEO CLIP to better understand the death claims process.
