If the participant was retired before death, benefits to the beneficiary will depend upon the type of pension selected.
Death of a spouse
In the event of the death of a spouse of a participant, notify the Plan.
If you are the surviving participant of the Plan and have not begun taking your pension benefit, you must update your beneficiary designation using the Designation of Beneficiary Form.
If you have retired under the Plan, your benefits will change only if you are drawing your pension under one of the Pop-up Option forms.
