You Die
If you die while covered under the county's benefit plans, your family and beneficiaries will receive a letter from Benefits and Retirement Operations with instructions on how to:
  • continue county health care coverage through COBRA and other options; and
  • submit claims for reimbursement under a flexible spending account (FSA), if you were enrolled.
Benefits and Retirement Operations will also help your family and beneficiaries:
  • complete a claim for any accidental death insurance or disability survivor benefit they're entitled to receive;
  • contact:
    • Aetna Life Insurance to file a life insurance claim;
    • the King County Employees Deferred Compensation Plan coordinator; and
    • Washington State Department of Retirement Systems (DRS);
  • receive your final paycheck; and
  • contact the Making Life Easier Program for bereavement counseling, if they're interested.
