Dos and Don'ts of Beneficiary Designation
Do use proper names. Nicknames are not acceptable. When naming a married female as beneficiary, be certain
the proper name is given, e.g. Mary J. Jones, not Mrs. John R. Jones.
Do use specific names. The phrase "my children" or "my grandchildren" will not be accepted. You must list each
child using his or her specific name.
Do make a copy of your completed Designation of Beneficiary form before submitting it to the Division and
periodically review it to make sure all beneficiary information is correct. It is especially important to update this infor-
mation after a life event such as a birth, marriage, divorce, or death.
Don't use a Designation of Beneficiary form to update a beneficiary's address. A signed letter notifying us of
your beneficiary's address change will suffice. Your letter will be added to our files so your beneficiary information
remains current.
Do complete this form with an ink pen. Completing this form in pencil makes the form unacceptable.
Don't use "white out" or cross out names to make changes in designation. This makes the form unacceptable
and a new form will be mailed to you.
Don't name the same person or persons in both the “primary” and “contingent” beneficiary sections. This
makes the form unacceptable and a new form will be mailed to you.
