This October, we’re highlighting two benefits that can help you plan for the future and save on staying active.
Estate Planning: Take Time to Plan Ahead
October is Estate Planning Month, a good reminder to make sure your important financial and personal information is up to date.
Take a few minutes this month to:
- Review and update your beneficiaries on your banking, retirement, and insurance accounts.
- Explore Will Preparation Services available through MetLife, UMD’s life insurance vendor. (Check out our August Benefits Spotlight to learn more about estate planning resources and services available to you.)
- Review your retirement and life insurance benefits to make sure your coverage and account information continue to reflect your needs.
Even small updates today can help provide greater peace of mind for you and your loved ones in the future.
To update your beneficiary, visit the member portal for each plan. More information and plan links can be found here:
