Section 3: Spousal Consent to Retroactive Annuity Starting Date
Leave this section blank if:
• you were not married when you started receiving benefit, or
• the spouse you were married to when you started receiving benefits is deceased.
If you were married when you began receiving benefits, your spouse at that time must consent to your choice by signing below.
•
His/her signature for the consent must be notarized by a notary public.
• Without his/her consent, your Annuity Starting Date will not change.
To be completed by the spouse who was married to the participant when he/she began receiving benefits:
By signing below, I consent to my spouse’s (or former spouse’s) election to change the annuity starting date to the Retroactive
Annuity Starting Date shown in the enclosed Retirement Benefit Estimate.
I affirm that I have read and understood the information provided by PBGC in the Retirement Benefit Estimate and that my
consent to this change is voluntary.
In addition, I understand that:
•

My consent is required to change the starting date of the annuity.

•

I have a right not to consent to the change in the starting date of the annuity.

•

With or without my consent, the annuity will continue to be paid in the form of benefit the participant originally
elected.

•

Any survivor benefits will be paid according to the form of benefit originally elected and to the designated beneficiary.

•

By agreeing to change the starting date to the Retroactive Annuity Starting Date, if the participant dies before me, my
monthly payment as surviving beneficiary (if applicable) will be smaller than if the starting date remained unchanged.

•

My signature below must be notarized.

•

Once I give my consent, I cannot revoke it.
