Steps to Take If You Get Married

If You Get Married...

1. Notify the Benefit Plans Office to update your retirement records if your name changes. In addition, make sure the Benefit Plans Office knows of any address changes.
   
   
2. Notify the Social Security Administration of any name changes.
   
   
3. Review your spouse's benefits so you can coordinate coverage to your best advantage.
   
   
4. Change your benefit elections within 30 days of your marriage.
   
   
5. Update your life insurance beneficiary records.
   
   
6. Update your savings program beneficiary records. Keep in mind that if you have been married for at least one year and you want to designate someone other than your spouse as your beneficiary, you must have your spouse's written and notarized consent. Contact CitiStreet or the Benefit Plans Office for more information.
   
   
7. Consider preparing or updating your will.
