How 桃色视频 Human Resources Benefits Can Help
Upon notification of the death, an 桃色视频 HR Analyst will obtain an electronic copy of the employee's Summary of Benefits and Life Insurance Beneficiary Designation from the OneUSG Connect - Benefits Center portal for our records.
Life Insurance
桃色视频 Benefits Department can also assist employees by confirming life insurance for funeral arrangements or assignment purposes. Calls from funeral homes that need to verify life insurance information should be directed to the HR Analyst at 706-721-7894.
How OneUSG Benefits Center Will Help
A Life Specialist from the OneUSG Connect- Benefits Center will call the beneficiary on file with the Benefits Center within 3 days of receiving (electronic) notification of the employee鈥檚 death to review the benefits and life insurance that the employee was enrolled in prior to their death.
IMPORTANT: The One USG Connect-Benefits Center cannot discuss life insurance or other benefits with family members or beneficiaries until the employee鈥檚 termination has been sent to the Benefits Center by electronic file (after being entered by 桃色视频 Human Resources). A delay in entering the termination in PeopleSoft will cause a delay in the family receiving information about survivor benefits.
Life Insurance Claims & Continuing Medical Insurance
A Life Specialist can assist family members by providing information on how to continue medical, dental, and other benefits for family members covered on the deceased employee鈥檚 insurance and get instructions for filing life insurance claims with MetLife.
Beneficiaries can speak with a Life Specialist at the One USG Connect Benefits Center by phoning 1-844-587-4236, press 7 to speak. Representatives are available Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. 鈥� 5 p.m. Eastern time.
Retirement plan or cecord keeper for that plan should be contacted by a family member as soon as possible when an employee passes away. A retirement plan representative will provide directions for submitting proof of death and discuss the available distribution options with the employee鈥檚 beneficiary for each retirement plan that the employee is enrolled in.
If you are unsure of the retirement plans that the employee was enrolled in, please contact the 桃色视频 HR Service Center at 706-721-9365 to speak with an HR representative for assistance.
