A family member died. Can the estate receive their capital credits?

Yes, an eligible estate can request an early payout through the Special Estate Retirement program, but it is not automatic. The payment is discounted to reflect early receipt, and an application with supporting documents has to be reviewed first.

  1. Use the application on the Special Estate Retirement page.
  2. Check who may apply and which documents are required.
  3. Allow several weeks for processing.
