Concept: Irrevocable Beneficiaries for Quebec
For workers in Quebec, the Benefits Administrator or Partner can designate a spouse as an irrevocable beneficiary.
Additionally, when a worker designates their spouse as the primary beneficiary, Workday automatically sets the spouse as an irrevocable beneficiary.
The spouse is then listed as an irrevocable beneficiary on life insurance plans selected during benefit enrollment.Workday enables you to create an irrevocable beneficiary, but doesn't assume responsibility for compliance. Consider:
- Only a Benefits Partner or Administrator can designate or overturn a spouse as an irrevocable beneficiary. But, a worker can affect the designation by adding their spouse as the primary beneficiary.
- A worker can have only 1 irrevocable beneficiary.
- A worker's irrevocable beneficiary is the only eligible primary beneficiary.
- An irrevocable beneficiary can't be a contingent beneficiary.
