Human Resources reminds Case Western Reserve University faculty and staff members that there are a number of items they should be sure to keep up-to-date.
Contact and beneficiary information
It is important to keep your address current in HCM as it is regularly transmitted to healthcare and retirement vendors. It is also important that you review and update your beneficiary and emergency contact information annually.
To update your address, go to the HCM Employee Self Service screen, click on the Personal Details tile, navigate to addresses and click the arrow symbol.
To update the beneficiaries for your CWRU life insurance policy, complete the Beneficiary Designation Form, and for the Plan B pension, complete the Plan B Beneficiary Designation Form. If your marital status changes, you must also submit a Benelect 2025 Change of Status Form in addition to the beneficiary form. Submit forms to the HR Service Center securely via Ask HR Box or to Crawford Hall, Room 320. To update your TIAA account, log in to your TIAA account, navigate to the retirement section under your accounts, then go to beneficiaries.
To update your Vanguard account, log in to your Vanguard account, navigate to my profile, and then beneficiaries.
Emergency contacts
It is important to update your emergency contacts in HCM in the event CWRU needs to contact someone on your behalf due to an emergency situation.
