Beneficiary Designation
1. Beneficiary Designation Form (Form DB-010) should be completed by the covered
individual or employee upon employment. This form must be signed, notarized and placed
within the covered individual’s personnel file at the employer or agency wherein the person
is currently employed.
2. If a covered individual or employee did not complete Form DB-010 upon employment or if
Form DB-010 is missing from an employee's personnel file, this form should be completed as
soon as possible. If the individual does not complete Form DB-010, the alternative statutory
provisions of MCA §45-2-1 (2)(b) will apply, which provide for benefit distribution if no
such designation is made.
3. The Beneficiary Designation Form (Form DB-010) is not sent to the Mississippi Department
of Public Safety for record keeping. This document is to be maintained by the
Employer. DPS should only receive a copy when included as an attachment to the
submission of the Death Benefits Trust Application (Form DB-020).
