You currently have a 403(b) retirement plan account and have not designated a beneficiary. Designating a beneficiary will ensure that your retirement plan account is distributed according to your wishes. In the event that there is not a beneficiary listed, your account may be distributed through the legal probate process.
To add a beneficiary, follow these simple steps:
Go to www.EmpowerMyRetirement.com to login to your account.
In the I Want To section on the right side of the screen, click View/edit beneficiary information.
Add your beneficiary and select Confirm & Continue.
When designating a beneficiary you will indicate a primary and contingent beneficiary and the percentage of benefit allocation.
Primary beneficiary: Anyone listed as a primary beneficiary will receive money first, and you can list more than one primary beneficiary.
Contingent beneficiary: Contingent beneficiaries who are named will inherit an account if the primary beneficiary were deceased and no other primary beneficiary was named.
Should you have questions about benefits, please contact the HR Service Center at [email protected] or 833.ASK.HRSC
