Family pension benefits protect widows, children, nominees and dependent parents when a member dies at different pension stages.

Family pension is payable to eligible family members following a member's death during service, after exit before pension commencement, or after pension commencement. Widow pension is determined by the applicable pension basis and prescribed minimum protection, and ends on death or remarriage. Eligible children may receive children's pension, while orphan pension applies where widow pension is unavailable or ceases; disabled children receive continuing protection. A valid nominee, or in default dependent parents, may receive benefits where no spouse or eligible child survives. Retained members lacking pensionable service attract withdrawal benefit for the nominee or dependent parent.
