The answer depends on which retirement option you elected. For certain options, the age of the member's beneficiary is a factor in calculating a retirement allowance; as a result, the beneficiary cannot be changed after the retirement date has passed. However, for the following options, you can change your beneficiary(ies) after retirement:

• For Tier I and II members—Options I, IV-b, IV-d, and IV-e;
• For Tier III, IV, and VI members—Options 3 and 4

After retirement, you may also change your fractional beneficiary and your Death Benefit #2 beneficiary, if applicable.
