Designating a Beneficiary

Is your beneficiary designation up-to-date? It is important to officially designate—and update, as needed—the person(s) you want to receive benefits from the MIT pension, 401(k), and life insurance plans in the event of your death.

Follow the instructions under each plan to update your beneficiary designation.
