As life events occur, both good and bad, it is important to keep your beneficiaries up to date. Consider the last time you reviewed beneficiaries for the following:
- Beneficiaries for your life insurance through GIC/MetLife
- Beneficiaries for your life insurance through ORP (if applicable)
- Beneficiaries for your state pension (SERS) account
- Beneficiaries for your 403(b) account with Fidelity or TIAA
- Beneficiaries for your 457(b) account with Empower Retirement
Beneficiaries should be reviewed once a year and when you experience a life event.
To update beneficiaries for your MetLife life insurance through the GIC, log onto the MyGICLink benefits portal. If you are not registered on the MyGICLink benefits portal, we suggest you complete the registration as soon as possible.
To update beneficiaries for the life insurance policy through ORP, email HRPO@umassp.edu to request the form.
To update beneficiaries for your state pension (SERS) account, complete and submit the Beneficiary Change Form.
To update beneficiaries for Fidelity or TIAA 403(b) accounts or Empower 457(b) account, log into your account and update online.
