HR News to Use
Every employee should complete a Designation of Beneficiaries form to ensure that any monies due upon the employee’s death are given to only the individuals they have selected. Updating beneficiaries for your pension does not change the beneficiaries for other payments to which survivors may be entitled.
- The NYCERS change of (pension) benefi ciary form can be downloaded from the NYCERS website at www.nyc.gov, or requested by calling NYCHA’s Ask HR at 212-306-8000 or NYCERS at 347-643-3000.
- Beneficiaries for other job-related entitlements, such as unpaid salary, accrued annual leave, retirement bonus, expense reimbursement and retroactive monies owed, can be updated by completing a Designation of Benefi ciaries form (#015168), available from the Forms and Reference Library on NYCHA Connect, or Ask HR.
- For information about updating beneficiaries for life insurance, death benefits, annuities or disability payments through a union welfare fund, call your union office or ask your shop steward. Employees covered by the Management Benefi ts Fund may contact the Employee Benefits Division at 212-306-4070 or the Management Benefi ts Fund at 212-306-7290.
- Finally, employees who participate in the Deferred Compensation Plan administered by the NYC Office of Labor Relations must contact 212-306-7760.
