In plain language

NYSTRS retirees can change their retirement plan beneficiary to a spouse anytime before or after retirement.

This bill allows retirees of the New York State Teachers' Retirement System (NYSTRS) to designate or change their retirement plan beneficiary to their spouse at any time, whether they are retired or still working. This flexibility aims to simplify beneficiary designations for retirees related to marital status changes.
