Remember to designate a beneficiary

Make sure your benefits go to who you want to receive them. Remember to designate a beneficiary through Minnesota Life.

It is in your best interest to designate, even if you believe the selected individual would receive the proceeds by default. Designating will eliminate confusion, save time and ensure the benefit gets to your intended beneficiary.

It is important to review your designation regularly, as major life events such as marriage, divorce, the birth or adoption of a child, and death may dramatically alter your priorities.

Beneficiary designation records are managed online, making it convenient for you to complete, review and update your designations at any time.

To update, view or change your beneficiary, visit LifeBenefits.com and log in with the user ID and password below. If you have previously accessed lifebenefits.com, use the password you set up during your previous visit.
