Accidental Death Benefit: We believe that our accidental death benefit is the most generous of any such plan in our service area.

Your beneficiary will receive:

(1) your base salary for one year if you are killed in the performance of your law enforcement duties (maximum payment: $70,000), or

(2) $10,000 accidental, non occupational death, or to retired and reserved members, in accordance with the terms and limitations of our insurance policy which underwrites the benefit.

Our benefit plan also includes an accidental dismemberment benefit as well.

For a complete description of the above benefits and their limitations, call 800-233-3506.

Benefits can be changed at any time, at the discretion of the Southern States PBA
