One of the most important actions you can take is to make sure your Designation of Beneficiary form is up to date with the Cook County Pension Fund (CCPF).
You can name any person, trust, charity, or organization as a beneficiary. By keeping this form up to date, CCPF can follow your wishes as far as whom you want to receive your $1,000 death benefit.
You should fill out a new Designation of Beneficiary form when you retire, to make sure your beneficiary information is up to date. The fastest and easiest way for you to complete a new form is by downloading the form online and either mailing it to our office or dropping it off in person.
