HEN TO USE THIS FORM
Form 2 is used when
a member of a pension plan who has a spouse wishes to start a pension,
a member/former member of a pension plan who has a spouse wishes to purchase an annuity
using benefits in a pension plan, locked-in retirement account or life income fund, or
a member/former member of a pension plan who has a spouse will start receiving payments from
an annuity that was purchased using the member’s/former member’s benefits in a pension plan,
locked-in retirement account or life income fund.
Right to a minimum 60% lifetime survivor’s benefit – The member/former member must choose a
pension or annuity that will, after the member’s/former member’s death, provide lifetime payments to
his or her spouse that are at least 60% of the payments received by the member/former member, unless
the spouse waives or gives up that right by signing this form.
Beneficiary right – If the member/former member dies after pension or annuity payments start, a
spouse who has waived or given up the right to a minimum 60% lifetime survivor’s benefit is entitled,
as beneficiary, to any remaining benefits in the pension or annuity, unless the spouse waives or gives up
that right before the member’s/former member’s death by signing this form.
W
HEN THIS FORM CANNOT BE USED
A spouse cannot use this form to waive or give up his or her right to a minimum 60% lifetime
survivor’s benefit if the member/former member has started receiving pension or annuity payments.
A waiver made under this form is void and ceases to have any effect if the member/former member dies
before pension or annuity payments start. If that is the case, Form 4 [Spouse’s Waiver of Beneficiary
Right to Benefits in a Pension Plan, Locked-in Retirement Account, Life Income Fund or Annuity Before
Payments Start] must be used, before the member’s/former member’s death, to waive or give up the
spouse’s right as beneficiary to receive the member’s/former member’s benefits in a pension plan,
locked-in retirement account, life income fund or annuity.
W
HEN THIS FORM IS NOT REQUIRED
Form 2 is not required if section 145 of the Family Law Act applies to determine the rights of the
member/former member and spouse when the relationship ends. Confirmation that section 145 applies
must be provided to the pension plan administrator, locked-in retirement account issuer, life income
fund issuer or insurance company holding the annuity.
