Dave105 Posted June 28, 2017 Posted June 28, 2017 I was married a short time prior to receiving my first payment. My wife (who is not a US citizen) left a few days after I received my first check. I have since divorced. Is there any way to replace her as beneficiary? She may have gone back to her home country and would not even be able to receive it anyway.
Mike Preston Posted June 28, 2017 Posted June 28, 2017 You should contact the PBGC. From their website: Send email to: mypension@pbgc.gov You can email us any day, 24/7. We will acknowledge receipt and get back to you with an answer within three business days. Or you can call us Monday-Friday, 8 a.m. - 7 p.m. ET (except federal holidays). 1-800-400-7242
Carol V. Calhoun Posted June 29, 2017 Posted June 29, 2017 I have moved this from the "Governmental Plans" topic, because governmental plans are not subject to PBGC insurance.

Mike Preston Posted June 30, 2017 Posted June 30, 2017 Uh-oh, maybe pointing to the PBGC wasn't the best thing to do if it really is a governmental plan.
