Last Updated February 22, 2024

Protect your money by designating your beneficiaries for life insurance, the 401(k) Savings Plan, your Health Savings Account (HSA) and any supplemental health care coverage.

Your Life Insurance Beneficiary

You must designate a beneficiary for your basic employee life insurance provided by RRD, as well as any optional life and accident insurance you choose to purchase. You may change your beneficiary designation at any time on the enrollment website.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT YOUR 401(k) BENEFICIARY

Log on to NetBenefits or call Fidelity to designate or confirm your beneficiary designation(s). With Fidelity’s Online Beneficiaries Service, you can designate your beneficiaries, receive instant online confirmation, and check your beneficiary information virtually any time.

It’s important that you name a primary beneficiary when you enroll in the 401(k) Savings Plan. If you die, your beneficiary is entitled to receive the full value of your vested account (as long as such person survives you for at least 48 hours).

If you die and have not named a beneficiary, or if your designated beneficiary dies before you (or within 48 hours of your death) and you have not named a contingent beneficiary, your beneficiary will be:

  • Your spouse; or
  • If there is no surviving spouse, your estate.

If your beneficiary outlives you but dies before receiving payment from the Plan, the Plan pays the full value of your vested account to your beneficiary’s estate.

If you are married, your spouse automatically is your beneficiary. If you want to name someone other than your spouse as your primary beneficiary for any portion of your account, your spouse must consent in writing in the presence of a notary public or Plan representative.

If you designated your spouse as your beneficiary and then divorced your spouse, he or she will remain your beneficiary unless and until you make a new beneficiary election.

You may begin the process of changing your beneficiary at any time by going to the Fidelity website, or by contacting the recordkeeper.
