consents to the designation of another beneficiary by validly consenting and signing the spousal waiver section on the following page.
I understand that by designating a beneficiary other than my spouse, I am waiving the benefits my surviving spouse would otherwise
receive upon my death if my spouse survives me and that the spousal consent and waiver below applies only to my current spouse.
Moreover, I acknowledge that if I remarry, this beneficiary designation will not be effective unless it is refiled and my new spouse
consents to a new beneficiary by completing another Beneficiary Designation Form. I understand that I can reinstate
my spouse as my sole primary beneficiary at any time without my spouse’s consent.
