Designating your account beneficiaries
It's a good idea to periodically review your beneficiary designation to ensure your assets are distributed upon your death as you intended.
You must complete an MSRS Beneficiary Designation form to name a new beneficiary or change an existing designation you previously made. MNDCP only: You have the option to change your beneficiary designation online. Log into your account to view your personal information. Go to the Profile page to change your beneficiary.
Three ways to obtain a Beneficiary Designation form:
-
