Each member shall designate on a form to be furnished by the department a beneficiary for death benefits payable under this chapter on the death of the member. The designation may be changed from time to time by the member by filing a new designation with the department. A designation or change in designation made by a member on or after July 1, 2000, shall contain the written consent of the member's spouse, if applicable. The designation of a beneficiary is not applicable if the member receives a refund of all contributions of the member. If a member who has received a refund of contributions returns to employment, the member shall file a new designation with the department.
If a member has not designated a beneficiary on a form furnished by the department, or if there are no surviving designated beneficiaries of a member, death benefits payable under this chapter shall be paid to the member's estate.
