Canadian Armed Forces pensions
Death of a survivor: Survivor/dependant

In the event of the death of a survivor who is in receipt of a survivor pension under the Canadian Forces Superannuation Act (CFSA), the Government of Canada Pension Centre should be notified immediately.

Survivor pension upon my death

The survivor pension is payable until the end of the month of your death.

Child pension upon my death

Upon your death, your children continue to receive a child pension for as long as they are entitled to it, and the child pension is doubled.

Insurance benefit plan coverage for surviving children upon my death

Any child who is entitled to a child pension may continue to be covered by the Public Service Health Care Plan (PSHCP) and the Pensioners' Dental Services Plan (PDSP) as long as he or she (or his or her guardian) applies for his or her own coverage. Coverage continues for as long as the child remains entitled to the child pension and the required premiums are paid.

If you have remarried or established a common-law relationship prior to your death, your new spouse or common law partner's health and dental care coverage ceases immediately upon your death.
