Beneciary Information
Your designation revokes all prior designations.
Benets are payable to a contingent beneciary only if you are not survived by one or more primary beneciaries.
If you name two or more beneciaries in a class (primary or contingent), two or more surviving beneciaries will share
equally, unless you provide for unequal shares. If you complete the “% of Benet” box(es), the amounts should add
up to 100% for each class (primary or contingent). For example, “Primary - John Q. Doe, 60%; Jane Q. Doe, 40%.”
If a minor (a person not of legal age) or your estate is the beneciary, it may be necessary to have a guardian or
a legal representative appointed by the court before any death benet can be paid. If the beneciary is a trust or
trustee, the written trust must be identied in the beneciary designation. For example, “Dorothy Q. Smith, Trustee
under the trust agreement dated mm/dd/yyyy.”
A power of attorney must grant specic authority, by the terms of the document or applicable law, to make or
change a beneciary designation. If you have questions, consult your legal advisor.
Spouse and/or Dependents Insurance, if any, is payable to you, if living, or as provided under the Group Policy.

Answers to Common Questions
How are benets paid?
For amounts of less than $25,000, The Standard issues a check to each
designated beneciary. The Standard pays amounts of $25,000 or more
to each designated beneciary by depositing funds into a convenient,
no fee, interest-bearing draft account called Standard Secure Access.
With Standard Secure Access, each beneciary receives a personalized
checkbook and has complete control of the account. Beneciaries can
write checks as needed or for the full amount. This arrangement allows
beneciaries to earn interest on their benets while they take time to
consider nancial decisions.
