Life insurance beneficiaries

Update beneficiaries

It's a good idea to review your life insurance beneficiary designations to ensure your information is current.

Do any of the statements below pertain to you?

  • Were you recently married or divorced?
  • Have you just purchased a new home?
  • Do you have children or grandchildren who will soon start college?

Even if the above statements don’t apply to you, you should take a few minutes and review your life insurance beneficiary designations. This ensures that MetLife will distribute the policy proceeds the way you want after your death.

You can change your life insurance beneficiaries at any time through MyBenefits. The change is effective on the date the request was made. Please note that MetLife will allow beneficiary changes by power of attorney only if the documents specifically state an attorney-in-fact has the power to change beneficiary designations.
