You must report the death to the human resources office of the employee's (compensationer's) employing agency. Be sure to have the employee's (compensationer's) full name, social security number and compensation claim number. You'll also need the deceased's date of death.

The agency will send you (and anyone else who appears eligible for life insurance benefits) the life insurance claim form.

IF YOU WISH, you may complete the FE-6 or FE-6DEP ahead of time by downloading the form from this web site:

• For Employee's Death -- Form FE-6

• For Family Member's Death -- Form FE-6DEP — NOTE: This electronic form requires Adobe Acrobat 5.0 or above.

Be sure to read the instructions on the FE-6 or FE-6DEP. You will have to print out the form and give or mail it to the employing agency, with a certified copy of the death certificate.
