OES Certificate of Beneficiary

As of August 1, 2016 there will be no new enrollments to the Endowment and Burial Department. For this reason this form will only be used to UPDATE INFORMATION for those members that have opted to remain a member of the Endowment and Burial Departments.

Upon the death of a member, certain benefits are given to the person(s) listed on the member's OES Certificate of Beneficiary. Worthy Matrons should submit a Death Claim Packet to the Grand Office when requesting these benefits on behalf of the beneficiaries.

A complete Death Claim Packet will consist of ALL of the following:

1. Original copy of the member's Death Certificate

2. Original copy of the member's OES Certificate of Beneficiary

3. A completed OES Certificate of Death, and

4. A completed OES Certificate of Burial. (If the member did not belong to the Burial Department

this form does not have to be submitted in the packet.)

Matrons please remember, if your members are not current on their dues AT THEIR TIME OF DEATH, they will not be entitled to any benefits. You will not be able to pay up for a deceased member after their death so that their beneficiaries can receive the benefits.
