BENEFICIARY DESIGNATION FORM INSTRUCTIONS
Please note: You only need to complete this form if your beneciary designation requires spousal consent. See Sec-
tion 4 to see if this applies to you.
In the event of your death, your designated beneciary(ies) will be entitled to any assets remaining in your account.
Please provide all of the requested information for each beneciary  this information will help ICMA-RC locate your
beneciaries if necessary. You can always update your beneciary information online by following the instructions
below.
Designating beneciaries for your account is important:
Your designation helps to ensure assets will be paid out according to your wishes and will not be subject to the
potential costs and delays of probate, as well as creditor claims. If all of your primary beneciaries are no longer
living at the time of your death, benets will be paid to your contingent beneciaries.
Your beneciaries may receive more tax advantages.
Percent of Benet Information – If you provide percentages that do not total 100%, or provide non-whole numbers,
your designations will be invalid. However, if no percentages are provided for any beneciary designations, the benet
will be allocated equally among all beneciaries.
Trust Beneciaries – If you name a trust as your primary or contingent beneciary, you must submit a complete copy of
your entire trust document with this form.
