GA. State Retiree System: Allow Beneficiary Change
Allow a beneficiary change for GA State retiree's pensions due to unforeseen illness and expenses.
Why is this important?
I have Multiple Myeloma; and currently need all of my pension money that I elected to leave my husband when I retired to pay expenses now. Due to my illness I have incurred additional expenses. My husband and I both agree that this beneficiary election need to be dissolved so that we may use the money now to live on. We have contacted the retirement system regarding this issue however, they will not allow me to change the status of my beneficiary. I am requesting that they allow this change so that I may have the benefit of my full pension.
