Except as applicable under K.A.R. 80-5-18, only those designations of beneficiary that are received in the retirement system office shall be recognized by the board of trustees. Eligible employees who are in their year of service shall file the beneficiary form with the employer. The employer shall keep the form on file until the employee becomes a member or dies. At that time, any completed beneficiary forms received by the designated agent shall be sent to the retirement system office, along with all other appropriate forms.
