When was the last time you reviewed your beneficiaries?
As life events occur, good and bad, it is important to keep your beneficiaries up to date. Consider the last time you reviewed beneficiaries for the following:
- MetLife life insurance through the GIC
- State Retirement Board pension account
- Standard life insurance (if enrolled in ORP)
- Fidelity and/or TIAA 403(b) accounts
- Empower Retirement 457(b) account
Reviewing your beneficiaries once every year and when you experience a life event is a good practice.
To update your MetLife life insurance beneficiaries through the GIC, log onto the MyGICLink benefits portal or request and complete a beneficiary form via DocuSign.
To update beneficiaries for your State Retirement Board pension account, complete and submit the Beneficiary Change Form.
To update beneficiaries for the Standard Life insurance policy through ORP, email Benefits@umassp.edu to request the form.
To update beneficiaries for Fidelity and/or TIAA 403(b) accounts or Empower 457(b) account, log into your account and update online.
