Please take a few minutes this month to review your beneficiaries for your retirement savings plan, life insurance and Health Savings Account (HSA). In the event of your death, benefits would be paid according to state law and/or plan rules, which might be different from the designation you would choose. This helps ensure that your benefits will be distributed according to your wishes.
