Applying for Benefits
How to Apply for Distributions
Your distribution will be processed after you complete and return a Benefit Distribution Form. You can obtain a form online by going to ibenefitcenter via MMC PeopleLink (www.mmcpeoplelink.com).
Prior to completing the form, be sure to read the Special Tax Notice Regarding Plan Payments to understand your options and the tax impact of your choices.
You may elect to receive a final distribution of your account in any of the forms specified in "Distributions Options" under the subsection, "How Benefits Are Paid." Forms received in good order by 4 p.m. Eastern time will be processed the same day.
If you want to reallocate your account balance before requesting a final distribution of your account, you must go online to ibenefitcenter via MMC PeopleLink (www.mmcpeoplelink.com) or call the MMC Employee Service Center at 1-866-374-2662 before submitting your Benefit Distribution Form.
Your distribution will be made in accordance with your elections on your Benefit Distribution Form, generally within five days of processing.
If you elect to have your distributions paid in MMC common stock and rolled over, you should confirm with the receiving institution that it can accept MMC stock and be aware that you may lose special tax benefits associated with the rollover.
