Update Beneficiaries
THT members must update their beneficiaries in the THT member portal. Teachers Health Trust will only provide beneficiary information to Lincoln Financial Group.
A life insurance beneficiary is an individual, entity, trustee, or estate named by the policy owner to collect the death benefit proceeds upon the insured’s passing. There are two types of beneficiaries:
Primary beneficiary: The first one in line to collect the death benefit upon the insured’s death.
Contingent beneficiary: Also known as a secondary beneficiary, is the second one in line to collect the benefit if the primary beneficiary is deceased.
1. Log in to the THT Member Portal
