Employees can either enroll for the first time or increase existing coverage by $25,000 - no medical questions asked, up to their guarantee issue amount. Increases for a Spouse/RDP will always require a medical questionnaire, unless the enrollment is due to a qualifying event. Children can also be enrolled up to $10K ($1.20 per month, regardless of the number of enrolled children). Review the Life and Disability Guide for details. Update Your Beneficiaries - CalPERS, ICMA-RC and The Standard During Open Enrollment, please give some thought to updating your beneficiaries. Please note the following information: To protect your CalPERS retirement assets in case you pass away, you can designate your beneficiary online via myCalPERS, via mail or in person at a CalPERS regional office. Power of Attorney documents can be mailed to CalPERS or submitted in person at a regional office. Designate the beneficiary for your Deferred Compensation 457 Plan assets online, or via the new ICMA-RC app. For Life Insurance coverage(s), you can designate beneficiaries via The Standard Portal. Please note: paper beneficiary forms are no longer stored by the City's Central Payroll department, so it is very important that the above entities have your current beneficiary information. If you have questions, please contact your department PPA.
