Death Of An Employee

Upon the death of an employee, the employee's family should notify you of the death.  The following information should be provided to you:

• Name of the deceased
• Title and unit of the deceased
• Date of death
• Name and address of the surviving spouse/domestic partner
• Name of the executor and/or the individual reporting the death and the relationship to the deceased
• Funeral arrangements
• Name and address of children under the age of 25

You should provide this information to University Human Resources by calling 732/932-3020, ext. 4004. After receiving the information from the department, we will notify the insurance company, retirement carriers and the Office of the Secretary of the University.  We will also contact the family to coordinate the transition of benefits.

If the deceased was on payroll at the time of death, submit a Personnel Data Record (PDR) to Payroll Services immediately.

To submit a comment or to report any problems with this site, please email us. For questions about University Human Resources programs and services, please email our Operations Team.
