1. If you are married or in a Registered Domestic Partnership (RDP): Your spouse/RDP must be named your sole primary beneficiary. You may name someone else provided your spouse’s/RDP’s signature is notarized.

Upon determination by SLOCPT that all necessary divorce documentation has been received, a new Beneficiary Designation form will be issued to you for submission.
