Beneficiaries
When you begin work at Metro and become eligible for benefits, you will complete a Beneficiary Designation Form.
The person(s) you named last as your beneficiary will be entitled to receive your life insurance and AD&D death benefits. That’s why it’s so important to make sure that your beneficiary designation is current.
You can change your beneficiary at any time by completing a new Beneficiary Designation Form. The new designation will apply only after you have signed the form and filed it with Human Resources.
Is your beneficiary information current?
To confirm or change your beneficiary designation(s), call Human Resources.
NOTE: You are allowed to name different beneficiaries for your Metro life insurance and pension benefits. Be sure to confirm your beneficiary for both benefits.
If you fail to designate a beneficiary, or if your beneficiary dies before you do, benefits will be paid in the following order: to your spouse, your natural or adopted children, your parents or to your estate.
