Naming a Beneficiary

Your beneficiary is the person you designate to receive your Life insurance benefits in the event of your death. This includes any benefits payable under Basic Life. You receive the benefit payment for a dependent’s death under the MetLife insurance.

    Name a primary and contingent beneficiary to make your intentions clear. Indicate their full name, address, Social Security number, relationship, date of birth, and distribution percentage. Please note that in most states, benefit payments cannot be made to a minor. If you elect to designate a minor as beneficiary, all proceeds may be held under the beneficiary’s name and will earn interest until the minor reaches age 18. Contact the Horizon Solution Center or your own legal counsel with any questions.
