Alaska Form 02 1890 PDF Details

The Alaska 02 1890 is the official retirement benefit application for members of the Alaska National Guard and Naval Militia Retirement System, authorized under Alaska Statutes 26.05. Completing this form accurately is essential to initiate benefit payments and establish beneficiary protections for your family.

Member Information

Section I collects your personal identifying details: full name, Social Security Number, date of birth, and your dates of military service. You must also declare your retirement type. Voluntary retirement applies when you choose to leave after meeting service requirements. Involuntary retirement requires a brief written reason for the record.

Retirement pay is calculated based on total verified years of Alaska National Guard and Naval Militia service. The certifying officer at your unit confirms these totals and signs the employer verification block before the form is submitted.

Beneficiary Designation

Section II covers beneficiary designations. You may name primary beneficiaries who receive death benefits and contingent beneficiaries who inherit if all primary recipients are deceased. For each beneficiary, provide their full name, relationship, date of birth, Social Security Number, mailing address, and the percentage of the benefit they are to receive.

Married members should note that spousal consent is required. Your spouse must acknowledge the death benefit terms in the designated consent block, with the signature witnessed by a notary or postmaster. For those also working with a related plan, the AIG beneficiary designation form covers similar fields and may be a useful reference.

QDRO and Divorce Provisions

If a court has issued a Qualified Domestic Relations Order (QDRO) due to divorce, the QDRO consent section governs how your retirement benefits are divided. This block must also be witnessed by a notary or postmaster. For related paperwork, see the domestic relations information sheet.

Employer Verification

A certifying officer at your unit or agency completes the employer section, verifying your total qualifying service and confirming your eligibility classification before signing and dating the certification block. The completed form is then sent to the Division of Retirement and Benefits. Members also planning for civilian retirement may find the CalPERS retirement application a useful comparison document.
