Designate a Beneficiary
Since Emory provides you with term life insurance, you should designate a beneficiary.
Your beneficiary is the person(s) who will receive your life insurance benefits when you (or your covered dependents) die. Your beneficiary can be one person or multiple people, charitable institutions or your estate.
Once named, your beneficiary remains on file until you make a change. If your family situation changes, you will want to review the beneficiaries on file and make updates if necessary. If you do not name a beneficiary, your life insurance benefits will be distributed in accordance with the policy.
Use Self-Service to designate or make changes your beneficiary at any time. View Step-by-Step Guide to Changing Beneficiaries.
