BENEFICIARY CHANGES
You may change your beneficiary for the $5,000 lump sum death benefit at any time after retirement.
However, the option you selected at retirement may restrict changes to your Priority 1 beneficiary designation after retirement:
- If you selected the Unmodified Retirement Allowance or Option 1 at retirement, you may change your beneficiary designation at any time after retirement. However, the new beneficiary will receive only the balance of the accumulated contributions, if any.
- If you selected the Unmodified+Plus option at retirement, you may change your beneficiary designation if you no longer have a spouse, domestic partner, or eligible minor children to receive the allowance.
- If you selected Option 2, Option 3, or Option 4, you may NOT change your beneficiary designation after retirement, even if the beneficiary you named at retirement predeceases you.
