BENEFICIARY BASICS
What is a beneficiary?
A beneficiary is an individual, entity, trust, or estate that you designate to receive your plan assets at the time of your death.
What is the difference between a primary and contingent beneficiary?
A primary beneficiary is your first choice to receive the designated share of your plan assets at the time of your death.
A contingent beneficiary will receive the the plan assets upon your death if the primary beneficiary either dies before your assets can be distributed or disclaims their interest in the assets. You can designate more than one primary and contingent beneficiary.
Can I designate someone besides my spouse to be my beneficiary?
If you are married and wish to designate someone other than your spouse as your primary beneficiary, you will need spousal consent. Print the Retirement Plan Beneficiary Designation form, which appears when you click to “Review” designations. The CONSENT OF SPOUSE section of this form must be completed in the presence of a notary or plan representative.
