Insurance can help protect your lifestyle and will assist your family in the event of your injury or death.
As a PSS contributing member, you receive automatic permanent invalidity or death cover at no extra cost to you. You're covered twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week.
You're covered for a benefit based on your entitlement had you worked to age 60.*
New PSS members need to fill out a Confidential Medical and Personal Statement (CMAPS) form and forward it to your Personnel Officer within 14 days of becoming a member of the scheme.
Some members may have the option to increase their death and invalidity cover. Your employer will pay half the costs of the standard premium for the additional insurance.

*Limited benefit members (LBM) accrue benefits only up to the date of retirement or death (that is, no future service is taken into account). If you are a LBM, it will be shown on your member statement.
