If something happens to you, the payout of each of your NC Total Retirement Plans - including the NC pension plan and all supplemental plans - is governed by the beneficiary designation on file with each, different plan provider. In most cases, payouts are not made based on the relationship of the beneficiary to the deceased member at the time of death.
