Library. Upon request, forms will be mailed directly to
you by the Benefits Section of the Office of Human Resources.

Naming
Your Beneficiaries
You

as primary beneficiaries of your Retirement Plan accounts.
For each person, you will be asked to provide first and last
name, date of birth, Social Security number, relationship
and percent of benefit he or she is to receive. For trusts,
you will be asked to provide the name, date established (trust
date), trustee of the trust, and tax ID number. If you wish,
you can also name contingent beneficiaries to receive your
benefit in case your primary beneficiary(ies) predecease you.
If

spouse as beneficiary of at least 50% of your Retirement Plan
account.
