Subject: Life Insurance Beneficiary Designations - Now Online
Tribune works to make sure you have the right tools to understand and manage your benefits. To support that effort, you can now manage your life and accident beneficiary designations online.
Next week, you will receive a mailing at home from Minnesota Life, Tribune's life insurance carrier. It explains how to access their secure website, www.lifebenefits.com, and name your beneficiary(ies) for your life and accident insurances. Once you name your beneficiary(ies), you can access the website anytime to make changes.
Naming a beneficiary is important so that proceeds are distributed according to your wishes. That's why now is a good time to visit the website and designate who you would like to be the beneficiary(ies) for these plans.
Current designations on file on paper will not be valid after August 30, 2010.
If you do not name a beneficiary with Minnesota Life by Sept. 1, 2010, the plan will designate "default" beneficiaries for you based on the following order of priority: spouse, children, parents, siblings, estate.
Please note that your retirement plan beneficiary(ies) continue to be administered by the Hewitt Retirement Center. To review or change your retirement plan beneficiary(ies), visit www.yourretirementbenefists.net/tribune or call 800/872-2222 (option 1).
If you have questions about designating a beneficiary for your life and accident insurance, contact Minnesota Life directly at 866/293-6047.
