Navigating EDLI Benefits: Will the Family Receive Support After Employee's Death on Leave?

ar-deep
Respected Sir/Madam, One of my employees passed away on 12/01/2022 while he was on leave. However, the Employee Contribution Record (ECR) did not mention his name. Instead, we updated his last working day as the exit date on 07/12/2021 due to his unfortunate death away from service. I have a question regarding whether the deceased member's family will receive the Employees' Deposit Linked Insurance (EDLI) benefit or an EDLI bonus.

Thank you.

Hi, For EDLI eligibility, an employee should have been active on the company's rolls until the date of death. Therefore, please amend the date.
