IDENTIFICATION OF DESIGNEE - 8477.26-DEC-1989
(Renumbered from 8429.36)
Sufficient identification must be presented by the designee to assure the agency reasonably that the applicant is the named designee.
If the designee submits the form by mail, or other than in person, at the agency's office, the notary public's acknowledgment identifying the designee will be sufficient identification of the designee.
If the designee personally appears at the agency's office, the agency will complete the "Description of Identification of Designee" section of the form, describing therein the identification presented. The form normally need not be notarized. Two or more documents such as a social security card, driver's license, credit cards, etc., normally should be sufficient for identification. The designee's signature on such documents may be compared with the designee's signature on the request for delivery of warrants. Also, the designee's stated age and relationship may be compared to that shown on the designation form and that address compared with the designee's address included by the deceased employee on the designation form. A statement by a current employee or any known person affirming the designee's identification is adequate and, if obtained, will be noted in the "Description of Identification of Designee" section of the request for delivery of warrants form. If the agency is not satisfied that reasonable identification of the designee has been presented, the agency may require the designee to obtain the notary public's acknowledgment required of designees not appearing in person.
