Beneficiaries

Q.  I need to update my beneficiary.  How do I go about making this change?

A.  You can designate or change your beneficiary for life insurance benefits as well as member contributions and interest while you are an active or deferred member or after you retire.  You can name any living person or entity, such as an eligible trust or charity, as your beneficiary.  If you are on Plan 1 or Plan 2 submit a Designation of Beneficiary (VRS-2) to the Human Resources Department.  Be sure to keep a copy for your records. 

Hybrid employees will need to update both the Designation of Beneficiary (VRS-2) form and DCP Designation of Beneficiary form.  Once completed, both forms need to be turned in to the Human Resources Department for processing.

You may also make beneficiary changes by logging into your account through myVRS.

VRS is required by law to pay benefits according to the latest beneficiary designation in your VRS record.  If you need to change your beneficiary, submit a new VRS-2 as soon as possible.
