In planning for the future, especially when considering the disposition of one’s estate or benefits, the clarity and detail in documentation is critical. The Virginia Retirement System (VRS) offers a specific form, the VRS-2A, as a solution for those individuals who find themselves needing to designate more beneficiaries than the primary form allows. The VRS-2A is essentially a continuation form used in tandem with the Designation of Beneficiary (VRS-2), enabling employees to specify additional beneficiaries for both basic and optional life insurance as well as for defined benefit member account retirement contributions. It is essential to recognize that this form must be filled out concurrently with the VRS-2; it cannot be used to add beneficiaries to an already submitted VRS-2. The form carefully guides the employee through listing each additional beneficiary, requiring detailed information such as the full name (including middle initial), Social Security number, and the share percentage, along with the type of beneficiary - primary or contingent. Notably, the VRS-2A also requires the employee to certify the continuation, underscoring the legal significance and the personal responsibility involved in accurately designating one's beneficiaries. This process not only provides peace of mind to the employee but ensures that the Virginia Retirement System can accurately and fairly distribute benefits in accordance with the employee’s wishes.
