For life insurance policies, retirement accounts (i.e., 401ks/403bs, IRAs, etc.), Health Savings Accounts (HSAs), and trusts, the beneficiary you name inherits the account assets, generally regardless of what your will states. For checking or savings accounts, or CDs, you may name a payable on death (POD) beneficiary.
In general, ERISA does not cover plans established or maintained by governmental entities, churches for their employees, or plans which are maintained solely to comply with applicable workers compensation, unemployment or disability laws.
The Spouse Is the Automatic Beneficiary for Married People A federal law, the Employee Retirement Income Security Act (ERISA), governs most pensions and retirement accounts.
Generally, an ERISA plan participant can select just about anyone to be their beneficiary. Typically, a plan participant selects their spouse, children, or other family members.
An eligible designated beneficiary (EDB) must be an individual, and not a nonperson entity such as a trust, an estate, or a charity (which would be not designated beneficiaries).
The provisions of Title I of ERISA cover most private sector employee benefit plans. Such plans are voluntarily established or maintained by an employer, an employee organization, or jointly by one or more such employers and an employee organization.
All pension benefit plans and welfare benefit plans covered by ERISA must file a Form 5500 or Form 5500-SF for a plan year unless they are eligible for a filing exemption. (See Code sections 6058 and 6059 and ERISA sections 104 and 4065).
