A guide to some important things to do after the death of a member of the Superannuated Teachers of Saskatchewan

  1. Notify The Saskatchewan Teachers' Federation at .............. 1 800 667-7762 .................. ..........................................................
  2. Notify The Superannuation Commission at 1 877 364-8202. (name of the deceased, maiden name if applicable, date of death, school where last taught) The surviving spouse and/or dependents will receive an allowance from the Superannuation Commission. ..................................................
  3. If the superannuate does not have a surviving spouse or dependents, and has not been retired very long (8 to 10 years), and has not received more money than he/she paid into the superannuation plan, then there will be money coming to the estate. The executor of the estate must notify the commission of this situation and ask to have this matter checked. .................................................................................................
  4. If the superannuate continued paying the premiums in the Life Insurance Plan, then both the STF and the Superannuation Commission must be notified of this. .................................................................................................
  5. If the surviving spouse has been a member of the STS Benefits Plan(s), then he/she is eligible to continue to be a member of this/these plan(s). However, the surviving spouse must submit an Application for Membership in the STS as well as an application for enrolment in the Benefits Plan. These two forms can be obtained on the STS web site www.sts.sk.ca where they are printable PDF forms, or by phoning the STS Office at 373-3879, or by sending an email to the STS Office sts@stf.sk.ca , or by contacting Darlene McCullough at 873-2030. The monthly premiums will be automatically deducted from the allowance paid to the surviving spouse.
It is suggested that you explain the information that is pertinent to your situation to your spouse or family member. Then be certain that the spouse or family member knows where this page of information will be kept.

If you have any questions, comments, suggestions for improvements, please contact Darlene so that the information can be revised.
