How do the RMD Rules Impact my Designated Beneficiary or Beneficiaries The RMD rules provide for the determination of your designated beneficiary or beneficiaries as of September 30 of the year following your death. Consequently, any beneficiary may be eliminated for purposes of calculating the RMD by the distribution of that beneficiary’s benefit, through a valid disclaimer between your death and the end of September following the year of your death, or by dividing your IRA account into separate accounts for each of several designated beneficiaries you may have designated.
Designation of Beneficiaries The Executive may designate any person to receive any benefits payable under the Agreement upon the Executive’s death, and the designation may be changed from time to time by the Executive by filing a new designation. Each designation will revoke all prior designations by the Executive, shall be in the form prescribed by the Administrator and shall be effective only when filed in writing with the Administrator during the Executive’s lifetime. If the Executive names someone other than the Executive’s spouse as a Beneficiary, the Administrator may, in its sole discretion, determine that spousal consent is required to be provided in a form designated by the Administrator, executed by the Executive’s spouse and returned to the Administrator. The Executive’s beneficiary designation shall be deemed automatically revoked if the Beneficiary predeceases the Executive or if the Executive names a spouse as Beneficiary and the marriage is subsequently dissolved.
Coordination of Benefits i. Delta Dental coordinates the dental Benefits under this dental plan with your benefits under any other group or pre-paid plan or insurance plan designed to fully integrate with other plans. If this plan is the “primary” plan, Delta Dental will not reduce Benefits. If this plan is the “secondary” plan, Delta Dental may reduce Benefits so that the total benefits paid or provided by all plans do not exceed 100% of total allowable expense. ii. How does Delta Dental determine which Plan is the “primary” plan? 1) The plan covering the Enrollee as an employee is primary over a plan covering the Enrollee as a dependent. 2) The plan covering the Enrollee as an employee is primary over a plan covering the insured person as a dependent; except that if the insured person is also a Medicare beneficiary, and as a result of the rule established by Title XVIII of the Social Security Act and implementing regulations, Medicare is: a) secondary to the plan covering the insured person as a dependent; and b) primary to the plan covering the insured person as other than a dependent (e.g. a retired employee), then the benefits of the plan covering the insured person as a dependent are determined before those of the plan covering that insured person as other than a dependent. 3) Except as stated in paragraph 4), when this plan and another plan cover the same child as a dependent of different persons, called parents: a) the benefits of the plan of the parent whose birthday falls earlier in a year are determined before those of the plan of the parent whose birthday falls later in that year; but b) if both parents have the same birthday, the benefits of the plan covering one parent longer are determined before those of the plan covering the other parent for a shorter period of time. c) However, if the other plan does not have the birthday rule described above, but instead has a rule based on the gender of the parent, and if, as a result, the plans do not agree on the order of benefits, the rule in the other plan determines the order of benefits. 4) In the case of a dependent child of legally separated or divorced parents, the plan covering the Enrollee as a dependent of the parent with legal custody or as a dependent of the custodial parent’s spouse (i.e. step-parent) will be primary over the plan covering the Enrollee as a dependent of the parent without legal custody. If there is a court decree establishing financial responsibility for the health care expenses with respect to the child, the benefits of a plan covering the child as a dependent of the parent with such financial responsibility will be determined before the benefits of any other policy covering the child as a dependent child. 5) If the specific terms of a court decree state that the parents will share joint custody without stating that one of the parents is responsible for the health care expenses of the child, the plans covering the child will follow the order of benefit determination rules outlined in paragraph 3). 6) The benefits of a plan covering an insured person as an employee who is neither laid-off nor retired are determined before those of a plan covering that insured person as a laid-off or retired employee. The same would hold true if an insured person is a dependent of a person covered as a retiree or an employee. If the other plan does not have this rule, and if, as a result, the plans do not agree on the order of benefits, this rule 6) is ignored. 7) If an insured person whose coverage is provided under a right of continuation pursuant to federal or state law also is covered under another plan, the following will be the order of benefit determination. a) First, the benefits of a plan covering the insured person as an employee (or as that insured person’s dependent). b) Second, the benefits under the continuation coverage. c) If the other plan does not have the rule described above, and if, as a result, the plans do not agree on the order of benefits, this rule 7) is ignored. 8) If none of the above rules determines the order of benefits, the benefits of the plan covering an employee longer are determined before those of the plan covering that insured person for the shorter term. 9) When determination cannot be made in accordance with the above for Pediatric Benefits, the benefits of a plan that is a medical plan covering dental as a benefit will be primary to a dental only plan.
CHANGE OF BENEFICIARY 18.1 The policyholder has the authority to appoint another beneficiary during the life of the insured person.. However, if the beneficiary has declared, with the written consent of the policyholder, that he accepts the benefit of the contract, the policyholder can exercise his rights under the contract only with the cooperation of the beneficiary, who has so accepted. The change will take effect from the moment that the insurer has noted this on the policy.
Payment of Benefit The Company shall pay the annual benefit to the Executive in 12 equal monthly installments commencing with the month following the Executive’s Normal Retirement Date, paying the annual benefit to the Executive for a period of 15 years.
Designation of Beneficiary The depositor may designate a beneficiary or beneficiaries to receive benefits from the custodial account in the event of the depositor’s death. In the event the depositor has not designated a beneficiary, or if all beneficiaries shall predecease the depositor, the following persons shall take in the order named: a. The spouse of the depositor; b. If the spouse shall predecease the depositor or if the depositor does not have a spouse, then to the depositor’s estate.
DEATH OF BENEFICIARY Unless otherwise provided in the Beneficiary designation, if any Beneficiary dies before the Owner, that Beneficiary's interest will go to any other primary Beneficiaries named, according to their respective interests. If there are no primary Beneficiaries, the Beneficiaries' interest will pass to a contingent Beneficiary, if any. Prior to the Annuity Commencement Date, if no Beneficiary or contingent Beneficiary survives the Owner, the Death Benefits will be paid to the Owner's estate. Unless otherwise provided in the Beneficiary designation, once a Beneficiary is receiving Death Benefits or annuity payments under an Annuity Payment Option, the Beneficiary may name his or her own Beneficiary to receive any remaining benefits due under the Contract, should the original Beneficiary die prior to receipt of all benefits. If no Beneficiary is named or the named Beneficiary predeceases the original Beneficiary, any remaining benefits will continue to the original Beneficiary's estate. A Beneficiary designation must be made by Notice to LNY.
Public Benefit It is XR's understanding that the commitments it has agreed to herein, and actions to be taken by XR under this Settlement Agreement confer a significant benefit to the general public, as set forth in Code of Civil Procedure § 1021.5 and Cal. Admin. Code tit. 11, § 3201. As such, it is the intent of XR that to the extent any other private party serves a notice and/or initiates an action alleging a violation of Proposition 65 with respect to XR's alleged failure to provide a warning concerning actual or alleged exposure to DEHP prior to use of the Covered Products it has manufactured, distributed, sold, or offered for sale in California, or will manufacture, distribute, sell, or offer for sale in California, such private party action would not confer a significant benefit on the general public as to those Covered Products addressed in this Settlement Agreement, provided that XR is in material compliance with this Settlement Agreement.
Supplemental Retirement Benefit The Executive will be entitled to receive a monthly Supplemental Retirement Benefit (the "Supplemental Retirement Benefit") commencing on the first day of the month coincident with or following the later of the Executive's termination of employment or attainment of age 60 and continuing for the remainder of his life. Unless otherwise elected by the Executive, the Supplemental Retirement Benefit shall be payable in the form of a 50% joint and survivor annuity which shall be unreduced for the actuarial value of the survivor's benefit. If the Executive's spouse at the time of his death is not more than four years younger than the Executive, the survivor benefit shall be equal to 50% of the Executive's benefit and shall be payable to his spouse for the remainder of the spouse's life. If the Executive's spouse at the time of his death is more than four years younger than the Executive, the benefit payable to the spouse shall be reduced to a benefit having the same actuarial value as the benefit that would have been payable had the spouse been four years younger than the Executive. The Executive shall also have the right to elect a 100% joint and survivor annuity, on an actuarially-reduced basis or a lump-sum payment, on an actuarially-reduced basis (if the Executive makes a timely lump-sum election which avoids constructive receipt), or any other form of payment available or provided under the "Supplemental Plans" defined in this Section 8. Actuarial reductions shall be based on the actual ages of the Executive and his spouse at the time of retirement. If the Executive is not married at the time of his retirement, actuarial adjustments shall be made as if the Executive had a spouse with the same date of birth as the Executive. In the event that the Executive elects a form of payment other than the automatic 50% joint and survivor annuity or other than a lump sum payment, and remarries subsequent to retirement, the benefits payable under this Section shall be actuarially adjusted at the time of the Executive's death to reflect the age of the subsequent spouse. If the Executive elects a lump sum payment at retirement, no further benefits will be payable under this Section. The amount of the monthly retirement benefit as an unreduced 50% joint and survivor annuity shall be equal to the product of (A) the "Service Percentage" multiplied by (B) the Executive's "Final Average Compensation," with such product reduced by (C) the total monthly amount of benefits (measured for purposes of this offset as if the Executive elected a 50% joint and survivor annuity payable as of the date benefits commence under this Agreement) provided to or in respect of the Executive under all tax-qualified retirement plans and related excess benefit and other benefit restoration plans maintained by the Company or the Bank for the Executive, including the Mellon Bank Benefit Restoration Plan and the Mellon Bank IRC Section 401(a)(17) Plan (the "Supplemental Plans") and benefits paid pursuant to Section 4.7 of the Mellon Financial Corporation Elective Deferred Compensation Plan for Senior Officers, but not including payments of any compensation previously deferred under any deferred compensation plan of the Company or the Bank, or interest thereon, or payments from the Mellon Financial Corporation Retirement Savings Plan, a 401(k) plan. The Executive owns interests in life insurance policies (the "Policies") as a participant in the Mellon Bank Senior Executive Life Insurance Plan. The Supplemental Retirement Benefit payable to the Executive hereunder shall be further reduced by the Executive's interest in the cash value of the Policies. This reduction shall be calculated in the same manner as under the Supplemental Plans. In the event the United States federal income tax laws change or are interpreted so as to cause Executive's ownership interests in Policies to be subject to taxation, the Executive and the Company will negotiate in good faith to mitigate the effects of such change. The Executive shall be vested in the Supplemental Retirement Benefit provided under this Paragraph as of February 1, 1998. The Executive shall elect the form of payment of his Supplemental Retirement Benefit at the same time and subject to the same provisions (including timing requirements and all reductions and/or penalties for late elections) as provided under the Supplemental Plans. After retirement, the Executive (or beneficiary who is receiving payments) may elect to receive his remaining Supplemental Retirement Benefits which are payable hereunder in a lump sum payment, calculated in the same manner and subject to the same reductions as under the Supplemental Plans. In the event that the Executive elects a form of payment of his Supplemental Retirement Benefits which provides for payments to continue after his death and the Executive dies without having received all payments of Supplemental Retirement Benefits that may be payable hereunder, then the unpaid balance of such benefits shall be paid in accordance with the form of payment elected by the Executive. Any such remaining payments shall be made to the Executive's beneficiary provided under the Supplemental Plans, subject to any contrary written instructions from the Executive designating a different beneficiary for such payments. The Executive may also elect, upon not less than 12 months' advance written notice, to have the payment of the Supplemental Retirement Benefit commence on the first day of any month coincident with or after the later of his termination of employment or attainment of age 55. In this event, the Supplemental Retirement Benefit will be subject to an early payment reduction amount equal to 0.5% per month (6% per annum) for each month that payments commence before attainment of age 60. In the event of such retirement, the Term and the Company's obligations to make payments under Section 4 above shall cease as of the retirement date. The Executive may also elect, upon not less than 12 months' advance written notice prior to the commencement of Supplemental Retirement Benefit payments, to have the lump sum value of the Supplemental Retirement Benefit to which the Executive would otherwise be entitled applied to the purchase of a single premium annuity in a form and from an issuer selected or concurred in by the Executive. In the event of such an election by the Executive, the sole responsibilities of the Company shall be to apply the amount of the lump sum value of the Supplemental Retirement Benefit to the purchase of the annuity selected or concurred in by the Executive and the distribution of such annuity to the Executive. Thereafter, the Executive shall look solely to the issuer of the annuity for payment on account of or in connection with the Supplemental Retirement Benefit and agrees that the Company and its affiliates, and each of their officers, directors and employees, shall have no further liability in respect of the Supplemental Retirement Benefit or by reason of the application of the lump sum value as elected by the Executive or the selection of the form or issuer of the annuity. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall the Executive receive any payments under this Section 8 or be deemed to be retired from the Company while the Executive is entitled to payments under Paragraph 6(a) or Paragraph 6(b) or during any period for which the Executive receives additional service credit in respect of a "Qualifying Termination" as provided in clause (B) of the definition of "Service Percentage" below. As used in this Section 8:
Death Benefit Should Employee die during the term of employment, the Company shall pay to Employee's estate any compensation due through the end of the month in which death occurred.
