Using Beneficiary Aliases

Pension Administration supports non-spouse beneficiaries. You record non-spouse beneficiaries on the Plan Beneficiaries page. If you do not record a beneficiary, the system assumes that the spouse is the beneficiary.

The three beneficiary aliases incorporate special corporation logic to determine who the beneficiary is, then to look up specific information about that beneficiary: birth date, relationship to the employee, and gender. The beneficiary information ultimately comes from the dependent and beneficiary table (DEPENDENT_BENEF).

If there is no beneficiary or spouse on record, these aliases do not have values.
