Yes, under certain circumstances. If a safety member dies in the performance of duty or as the result of an accident or injury caused by external violence or physical force, his or her survivors may be eligible for special death benefits (in addition to whatever benefits otherwise apply). In such cases, LACERA will notify the eligible survivor of all applicable benefits.
