Mermaid Posted November 17, 2020 Share Posted November 17, 2020 Hello everyone. The husband just died a month ago and he was employed. The wife already called Fidelity, and they have submitted a form. The wife is not residing in the united states because the husband was just in the process of petitioning the wife when he died. I wonder how long would it take for the wife to claim the benefits? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lou S. Posted November 17, 2020 Share Posted November 17, 2020 Assuming the wife is the sole beneficiary wouldn't it be processed like any other death benefit of the plan through the Plan's administrative procedures? The issue than becomes one of withholding to a payee outside the US and what withholding rules may or may not apply. Mermaid 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
