If the beneficiary of a pension plan is deceased, the distribution of the pension benefits typically depends on the plan's terms and the designation of beneficiaries. Often, the pension may go to the contingent beneficiary named in the plan, or if none exists, it may revert to the estate of the deceased beneficiary. In some cases, laws governing the specific type of pension may also dictate how benefits are distributed. It's important to consult the pension plan documents or contact the plan administrator for specific guidance.
