Beneficiary Designations

A Beneficiary is whoever you choose to receive your life insurance death benefit if you pass away. Designating your beneficiaries is important so that you can ensure the financial wellness of your loved ones in the event of your death. By having a current beneficiary on all your accounts, you leave no doubt as to what you wish to be done with your insurance benefits. You may designate one or more individuals, including a trust or your estate, as a beneficiary.

All full-time, regular employees automatically have Life and AD&D insurance with MetLife.

All County employees are required to setup their life insurance beneficiaries with MetLife. Your chosen beneficiary(ies) on file with MetLife apply to Basic Life, Basic AD&D, Supplemental Life, and Voluntary AD&D (if enrolled), as well as last paycheck and any leave balance payoff.
