Death benefits to be paid under a 403(b) plan depend on when death occurs and who is the designated beneficiary on the plan. The Internal Revenue Code states that distributions generally must be made from a 403(b) plan by the participants required beginning date, which is April 1 of the year following the year in which the participant attains age 70 1/2. Different rules apply to death benefits depending on whether or not death occurs before the required beginning date.

Most Wiccans are honest enough to say, "We don't really know, and there isn't any way to know."

ERISA provides some protection to surviving spouses of deceased participants who had earned a vested pension benefit before death. The nature of the protection depends on the type of plan and whether the participant dies before or after payment of the pension benefit is scheduled to begin, otherwise known as the annuity starting date.
