Members are encouraged to regularly review and update the beneficiary designated on their original Enrollment Card. This can be completed by completing a Beneficiary Designation Change Form, or by entering the information in WEBS™ and signing the WEBS™-generated Application form. In either case, the form must be signed and dated in ink by the member. Correction fluid/tape is not acceptable. The original, signed documentation must be produced in the case of a death claim.
If the beneficiary is irrevocable, the Beneficiary Designation Change Form must be completed, the employee must also provide one of the following documents:
- Member Benefits Change form, signed by the irrevocable beneficiary, revoking his/her rights, or
- Proof of death of the irrevocable beneficiary, or
- In Quebec only, proof of divorce from the irrevocable beneficiary.
