Who Can Use This Form?
This form is for Board of Regents members who do not have any KPERS service credit. This form designates a beneciary
for your KPERS life insurance benets only. Please see your designated agent about designating a beneciary for your Board
of Regents benets.
Who Can You Name as Beneciary?
You can choose:
A living person
A trust
Your estate
Any combination of these options.
If you choose more than one beneciary, each will share your life insurance benet equally. You can also name a contingent
beneciary to receive your benet if your primary beneciary is not living. Only members can complete the designation
form. Conservators, guardians and those with power of attorney cannot select or change a beneciary. Each time you com-
plete a beneciary form, it cancels all those you have previously completed. Every time you complete the form, ll in
both the primary and contingent beneciary sections if you intend to have a contingent beneciary. If you complete only the
contingent section and leave the primary blank, you will have no primary beneciary, even if a past form names one. When
completed, this form stays with your employer.
Naming a Trust or Estate
If you name a trust, provide the name of the trust (e.g., Your Name, Trust #1). If you name your estate, write “Estate of (Your
Name)” or “My Estate.” You can name another primary or contingent beneciary in addition to your estate or a trust, and
each will share your benet equally.
Naming Additional Beneciaries
If you need to name more beneciaries than space allows, please use an Additional Life Insurance Beneciaries page.
This page must be with your completed Designation of Beneciary for Life Insurance form to be valid. You can download
additional pages at www.kpers.org or get one from your designated agent.
If You Have Any KPERS Service Credit
This form is for Board of Regents members who do not have any KPERS service credit. If you are a Regents member and
have any KPERS service credit, you need to complete a Designation of Beneciary form (KPERS-7/99) instead. This form
will allow you to name a single beneciary or separate beneciaries for your life insurance benets and KPERS retirement
benets. You can get one at www.kpers.org or from your designated agent.
If you do not name a beneciary on a Designation of Beneciary form (KPERS-7/99), your KPERS retirement benets
will be paid according to the line of descendency in K.S.A 74-4902(7).
