A designation or change in designation made by a member on or after July 1, 2000, shall contain the written consent of the member’s spouse, if applicable.

The member’s designation or change in designation shall become effective upon filing the necessary forms, including the notarized statement, with the system. The system shall not be liable to the member, the member’s spouse, or to any other person affected by the member’s designation or change of designation, based upon a designation or change of designation accomplished without the written consent of the member’s spouse.   3. The designation of a beneficiary is not applicable if the member receives a refund of all contributions of the member. If a member who has received a refund of contributions returns to employment, the member shall file a new designation with the system.   4. If a member has not designated a beneficiary on a form furnished by the system, or if there are no surviving designated beneficiaries of a member, death benefits payable under this chapter shall be paid to the member’s estate.
