Can I change my life insurance and retirement beneficiaries at any time?

Yes, you can change your beneficiaries at any time during the year. Marriage, divorce, death, birth are important events that can trigger such a change. Remember to keep your beneficiaries updated. The MetLife Beneficiary Designation Form and the State Retirement Agency Form may be found on the forms page.

Voluntary life insurance coverage can be changed mid-year within 31 days of a qualifying lifestyle change with an Evidence of Insurability.

Your family will need to contact the HR/Benefits Office at (410)-222-5221/5219. A certified copy of the death certificate will be needed in order to submit a claim form for life insurance benefits.
