For security reasons, we recommend the following changes when considering divorce:
- Change the password to your Member Access account.
- Change the password to the email address you currently have in Member Access, or change the email address you have in your Member Access account.
- Change your address, phone number, beneficiary, and banking information online through Member Access.
- If you suspect someone is trying to access your IMRF information without your consent, call an IMRF Member Services Representative at 1-800-ASK-IMRF (275-4673) and ask that a security flag be placed on your account.
Keep your IMRF beneficiary form up to date
Now is a good time to review and update your IMRF beneficiary information. The fastest way to do this is online through Member Access. You can also call us at 1-800-ASK-IMRF (275-4673) and request a copy be mailed to you.
The best way to view and update your beneficiary information is through your secure Member Access account at www.imrf.org.
To ensure your alternate payee receives the death benefits agreed upon in the divorce, they should be specified in the death benefit section of the QILDRO. QILDRO lump sum death benefit payments are paid to your alternate payee first, before any remaining benefits are paid to beneficiaries you named on your IMRF Designation of Beneficiary form.
