If you are an active member of TSERS and you die while still in active service (while being paid salary) after 1 year as a contributing member, your beneficiary will receive a lump sum payment. The payment equals the highest 12 months' salary in a row during the 24 months before you die, but no less than $25,000 and no more than $50,000.

* Members of the Optional Retirement Plan (ORP) are ineligible for this death benefit.
