Members are responsible for keeping our office informed of changes to their personal information including name, marital status, address, and beneficiary information. We encourage members to set up and update their personal information through the myURS section of our website. If members prefer to provide or change information on paper, they can request a form by contacting our office.
Note: There are now two distinct change forms:
1. The Beneficiary Designation (Form MECF-1B) to update a member’s beneficiary information;
2. The Change in URS Records (Form MECF-1) to update general information, such as a name or address change.
The beneficiary designation in a member’s URS file at the time of the member’s death is binding for the payment of any/all benefits. All beneficiary changes can be made on our website via myURS or a member may request a form from our office. A change in beneficiary designation may be made at any time. Whenever a change is made, URS sends a confirmation notification to the employee by email or postal service if we have a valid email or mailing address on the member’s account. For more information on how to designate beneficiaries, review this video.
Addresses, marital status changes and other profile information may also be updated in the myURS section of our website or by filling out a Change in URS Records (Form MECF-1).
