Stay connected!

We hope you stay connected and engaged with other PGE retirees. Our retirees have formed a nonprofit corporation, PGE Retirees Inc., to provide news, networking, activities and advocacy on behalf of all retirees.

If you would like to receive their newsletter, please send your contact information to pgeretirees@gmail.com.

You also are invited to join the PGE Retirees Facebook Group which is a great way to exchange information directly with other retirees.

The PGE Retirees' Association website also provides information for retirees and their family members. You’ll find a calendar of events, historical tidbits and links, along with email and phone contacts.

To check your current beneficiaries, contact the specific vendor using the contact information provided.

It is recommended that you check, and if appropriate, update your beneficiaries each year or when a significant life event occurs that would alter your beneficiary selection. You should designate beneficiaries for life insurance, 401(k) and Health Savings Accounts (HSA).

Changing your beneficiaries for one benefit does not change the beneficiaries for other benefits.

Life insurance is administered by MetLife. To review retiree life insurance coverage amounts, change your address, review or change beneficiaries, pay premiums for optional coverage, for other life insurance related questions, contact MetLife directly.

In the event of a retiree death, your survivor or estate representative should contact MetLife directly to begin the claims process.

When a retiree passes, the survivors of the retiree must notify each vendor for which the retiree had an active account, including PGE. The PGE notification is for internal record-keeping. PGE will not notify any benefit vendors.

We will provide a contact list of all benefit vendors for which we have formal relationships. The retiree may or may not have an active account with these vendors.

In the event of a death, please notify PGE HR Connect.
