Online Designate Beneficiary Event Improved

In response to feedback from benefits administrators, NRECA has improved a step in the designate beneficiary event on the Employee Benefits website to make it easier to complete and submit.

The event process will remain the same. Benefits administrators enter or update employee beneficiary designations by going to the Employee Administration menu and clicking “designate beneficiary” and then selecting the employee’s record.

The change comes in the retirement beneficiary step. NRECA will now automatically assign an employee’s spouse as the primary beneficiary, with an allocation of 100%, instead of requiring benefits administrators to enter this information. Benefits administrators will only need to verify this information by clicking “submit” to move on to the next step.

If you have questions or need help with the online designate beneficiary event, contact NRECA’s Member Contact Center at 866.673.2299. Representatives are available from 7 am to 7 pm, Central time.
