How do I change my designated beneficiary(ies) on my IMRF account?
To make any change (add or remove) to your beneficiary(ies), you must complete a new Form 6.11 (Designation of Beneficiary). You must sign, date, and file this form with IMRF. Your new Designation of Beneficiary form is valid upon receipt by IMRF. Please note that although we can accept the signature of a representative for name and address changes, we cannot accept the signature of anyone other than the member to change a beneficiary. Also, please note that if you make any changes to the Designation of Beneficiary form, you must initial each change as you would for any other legal document. If you do not do this, the form will not be accepted. You may obtain Form 6.11 from IMRF Online or by calling 1-800-ASK-IMRF (1-800-275-4673).
