My spouse, who was an active LACERA member, just died. Am I eligible for coverage under a LACERA-administered health plan?
It depends on the circumstances of the situation. Generally, any survivor or beneficiary who is receiving a continuing monthly allowance from LACERA is eligible to enroll in LACERA-administered health care coverage. When an eligible survivor notifies LACERA of a member’s death, LACERA mails a health care benefits information packet to the survivor. The packet includes information on benefits and premium rates, along with an enrollment form.
