Your Beneficiary

When was the last time you updated your beneficiary information for life insurance, retirement, and accident documentation? For most people, the answer is the day they filled out the initial form, typically, the day they were hired. Updated beneficiary information is particularly important if you have married, divorced, given birth to or adopted a child since you filled out your beneficiary form. Before departing on a trip is an excellent time to make sure this information is up to date. Contact the HR/Payroll Service Center for more information.
