Notification of Death of Anthony Chappell, Retiree (November 25, 2013)
The Board was notified that Anthony Chappell died November 25, 2013 without a surviving spouse.
There is no further benefit due after November 2013.
The Board discussed how notification is received when a retiree dies and there is no survivor to notify
the Plan or the survivor is unaware of the need to notify the Plan. Ms. Wescoat explained that FPPA
issues the pension payments for the Plan and many others statewide. FPP A contracts with a service
that provides monthly notification s when a payee is deceased. The City of Englewood is notified as
necessary. Typically family members are cooperative and notify the City before any unearned
payments are made.
