Did you know that incomplete information can make it difficult for us to find your beneficiaries?
To help ensure that your beneficiaries receive their survivor benefits, it’s important that we have complete
information on file to locate them at all times. This includes each beneficiary’s name, address, telephone
number, date of birth, Social Security Number or Taxpayer Identification Number and relationship to you and
the portion of the benefits to which they are entitled. If you haven’t already done so, please update your
beneficiary designation with all of this information as soon as possible. And, we also recommend that you
review and update your beneficiary information periodically to make sure it continues to be accurate.
To update or change your beneficiary designation, please visit us online at www.tiaa-cref.org/profile or
complete this Designation of Beneficiary form and mail back to us. To obtain a form, visit our website at
www.tiaa-cref.org/beneficiary, or call us at 800 842-2252.
Selecting a Beneficiary
A beneficiary can be an individual, an institution, an organization, a testamentary trust, or your estate.
(Naming an estate may limit options available to your heirs. Please consult with an attorney prior to naming
your estate or trust.) Beneficiaries can also be the children of the beneficiaries that you designate on this
form. You can choose primary and contingent beneficiaries. Your primary beneficiary(ies) receives benefits
at the time of your death. If a class includes more than one person, the benefits are paid proportionately
among the living beneficiaries of the class unless you specify otherwise. If there are no living primary
beneficiaries at the time of your death, the benefits become payable to your contingent beneficiaries. If
none of the beneficiaries are living at the time of your death, the benefits will default to the plan or product
provisions. The order of payment and division of benefits is provided for in the Additional Provisions section.
Spousal Rights to Annuity Death Benefits
If you live in a community or marital property state and have designated someone other than your spouse as
more than 50% primary beneficiary, you need to consult your tax advisor regarding the effect that may have
on your beneficiary designation. Community and marital property states include, but are not limited to: AZ,
CA, ID, LA, NV, NM, TX, WA and WI.
Federal pension law (ERISA) and certain Plan and State provisions mandate:
If you are married at the time of your death, your spouse is entitled to receive, as primary beneficiary, at
least 50%, could be up to 100%, of your qualified preretirement survivor annuity death benefits under
a retirement or tax-deferred annuity plan covered by any of the following: ERISA or your plan’s spousal
policy. If you name someone other than your spouse as primary beneficiary of those qualified preretirement
survivor annuity death benefits, then we will be obligated to pay your spouse regardless of your beneficiary
designation in effect at the time of your death. The remainder will be payable in proportion of the amounts
allocated to the other beneficiary(ies) listed as primary.

Please contact your human
resources administrator for
any special employer rules.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION (CONTINUED)
How to waive a preretirement survivor death benefit?
Please consult with your Plan Representative for more information.
If you are married and want more than 50% of your benefits (or the plan determined amount, if greater)
to go to someone other than your spouse, your spouse must authorize the designation by completing the
Spousal Waiver form. A Notary Public or Plan Representative must witness your spouse signing and dating
the spousal waiver. Under federal law, if you are under 35, your spouse cannot complete a Spousal Waiver
unless your plan provides otherwise. Even if your plan does allow your spouse to complete a Spousal Waiver,
your spouse must complete another Spousal Waiver once you attain age 35.
If the spousal waiver section is not completed and signed at the time you make your designation, we will
continue to update your designation but at the time of your death, we will advise your spouse of his/her legal
right to their portion of your contract at which time he/she can waive their rights or claim their inheritance.

BENEFICIARY PROVISIONS
1. Effectiveness
This Designation of Beneficiary is effective for each annuity contract and certificate listed by number or
by definition of contracts as stated in the Annuity Numbers section. If the beneficiary designations are
satisfactory by TIAA-CREF’s standards and the designations are accepted by TIAA-CREF, the designations
will be effective from the date the form was received in good order by TIAA-CREF.
2. Immediate Annuity under a Two-Life Option
If you own an Immediate Annuity under a Two-Life Option, you have already provided for benefits at your
death for the second annuitant. Therefore, your second annuitant should not be named as a beneficiary.
If you do designate your second annuitant, TIAA-CREF will remove that person from the contract’s
designation. Your confirmation will display this change.
3. Order of Payment and Division of Benefits
a. Unless otherwise stated: At your death (or the last surviving annuitant’s death under a Two-Life
Annuity), any benefits due will be paid to a beneficiary if he or she is then living. If a class of
beneficiaries contains more than one person, benefits due to the beneficiaries in such class at your
death (or the last surviving annuitant’s death under a Two-Life Annuity) will be paid in accordance
with the proportions stated. If a beneficiary predeceases you (or the last surviving annuitant under a
Two-Life Annuity), the proportion of the benefits that would have otherwise been apportioned to such
deceased beneficiary shall instead be divided to the other beneficiaries who survive you (or the last
surviving annuitant under a Two-Life Annuity).
b. If all beneficiaries predecease you (or the last surviving annuitant under a Two-Life Annuity), all benefits
will be payable to your estate (or the estate of the last surviving annuitant under a Two-Life Annuity).
Beneficiary Designation form
TA_MB
F11468 (6/14)
ADDITIONAl PROVIsIONs
Provision: ‘Payment to my deceased beneficiary’s children’ provision applied to a beneficiary means that
if you check ‘payment to my deceased beneficiary’s children’ and the named beneficiary predeceases you,
the monies which would have been paid to that beneficiary will be divided proportionately among his/her
children (if any). If there are no living children for that beneficiary, their portion will be paid in proportion to
the remaining beneficiaries in that class. In the event there are no other beneficiaries, we will pay your Estate.
Example:
John Doe – your son with a 100% designation ‘payment to my deceased beneficiary’s children’
Jane Doe – your daughter with a 100% designation ‘payment to my deceased beneficiary’s children’
John predeceases you. Then John’s portion will be paid to his children equally. If John has no children, his
share will then be paid to Jane. If both John and Jane predecease you and there are no children, we will pay
the contingent beneficiaries you designate. In absence of any contingent beneficiaries, we will pay your Estate.
4. If a Testamentary Trust is Designated as Beneficiary:
a. TIAA-CREF will not accept or be obliged to inquire into the terms of any will or of any trust affecting
the annuity contract/certificate or its death benefit and shall not be charged with knowledge of terms
thereof.
b. TIAA can only accept a testamentary trust if you give us the create date of the will at the time of the
designation. A designation of Will is not acceptable.
c. If benefits become payable to a testamentary trust and (i) the will is not presented for probate within 90
days following the date of your death (or the death of the last surviving annuitant in a Two-Life Annuity);
or (ii) the will has been presented for probate within the aforesaid 90 days and no qualified trustee
makes claim for the benefits within nine months after your death (or the death of the last surviving
annuitant in a Two-Life Annuity); or (iii) if evidence is furnished and is satisfactory to TIAA-CREF within
such nine-month period that no trustee can qualify to receive the benefits, payment shall be made to
the successor beneficiary(ies), if any such beneficiary(ies) (is)are designated and survive you (or the
last surviving annuitant in a Two-Life Annuity): otherwise to your estate (or the estate of the last surviving
annuitant).
d. If benefits become payable to an inter vivos trust and (i) the trust agreement is not in effect; or (ii)
no trustee can qualify to receive the benefits; or (iii) the qualified trustee is not willing to accept
the benefits, payments shall be made to the successor beneficiary(ies) as designated, if any such
beneficiary(ies) are designated and survive(s) you (or the last surviving annuitant in a Two-Life Annuity);
otherwise to your estate (or to the estate of the last surviving annuitant).
e. Payment to, and receipt by, said trustee, said successor beneficiary(ies) or said estate, as provided
for in (b) and (c) above, shall fully discharge TIAA-CREF for all liability to the extent of such payment.
TIAA-CREF shall have no obligations as to the application of funds so paid and shall, in all dealings with
said trustee or with said executor(s) or administer(s), including but not limited to any consent, release or
waiver of interest, be fully protected against the claims or demands of any other person(s).
