What happens if I have an eligible spouse, but name another (mother, father, sister, brother, child, former spouse who has not remarried) individual as my Member-Survivor (Option D) beneficiary?
The legal rights of your eligible spouse are superior to any other named beneficiary. Your eligible spouse is entitled to elect to receive the Member-Survivor (Option D) benefit even if you have named another. Your named beneficiary will only receive the Option D benefit if your eligible spouse fails to elect to receive it. Only one individual is eligible to receive the Member-Survivor (Option D) benefit.
