For purposes of AS 14.25.166(a) and in accordance with AS 13.12.804(a)(1)(A), a divorce, a dissolution of marriage, or an annulment of a marriage revokes a revocable disposition or appointment of property. If a member designates a spouse as a beneficiary and is subsequently divorced or a dissolution or annulment of the marriage is granted, the beneficiary designation is void unless the member, in writing after the divorce, dissolution, or annulment specifically affirms the former spouse as a beneficiary.
