PeopleSoft delivers read-only pages that enable you to view personal and beneficiary data. PeopleSoft assumes that your human resources department maintains this data—not your pension organization. You can make these pages available for updates by using the Security features.

Note: Beneficiaries and Qualified Domestic Relations Order (QDRO) alternate payees first appear in the system through the Dependent/Beneficiary table; their personal data records are initially derived from their dependent/beneficiary records.

Use the Address page (PERSONAL_DATA1B) to view employees' addresses.

The following fields appear only for beneficiaries and alternate payees. These people are not employees, but have gained an interest in a pension benefit through a spouse or former spouse who is a plan participant. For example, an employee worked for your company, and because of a divorce settlement, her former husband is now entitled to a portion of her benefit.
