Dependent/Beneficiary Type (UDC 08/DB)

You use dependent/beneficiary type codes in conjunction with dependent/beneficiary relationship codes to further define the relationship of the dependent or beneficiary to the employee. For example, when determining beneficiaries for life insurance, you might designate a primary beneficiary to collect the benefit. You might also designate a secondary beneficiary to collect the life insurance benefit in the event that the primary beneficiary is no longer living. Examples of dependent/beneficiary type codes are Primary and Secondary.
