The Beneficiary Change Form allows a retired member to select a beneficiary(ies) to receive pay-
ment of any accumulated deductions remaining in his/her account when the member dies after
retirement. Keep in mind:
In order to select a Beneficiary to Receive a Return of Accumulated Total Deductions at
Member’s Death or a Option(D) Beneficiary, use the Beneficiary Selection Form (If
Member Dies Before Retirement).
Any person, persons or entity can be named as an Option(B) beneficiary.
Your selection on this form will supersede any earlier beneficiary(ies) selected.
If you divorce or your personal situation changes, you may wish to file a new form with
your retirement board.
