You can decide who you wish your lump sum death grant (of 3 times your assumed pensionable pay) to be paid to by completing an 'Expression of wish' nomination form. The easiest way to do this is via EAPF Online, your personal pension portal by selecting ‘My Nomination’ once logged in.
It’s easy to register for your EAPF Online account; you just need your National Insurance number and personal details. Once you’ve registered online and made a nomination, you can easily check who you have currently nominated, and update or delete your nominations at a time that suits you!
Not only this but having it online means that you can review and refresh your nomination each year when you log on to view your annual pension statement. As you’ll see from the earlier ‘Death grant nomination special’ story, it’s really important to let us know your wishes are up to date, even if it’s just to nominate the same person.
