If you die before your entire account has been distributed and if one or more of your beneficiaries is a minor child, your deferred compensation funds will be distributed to the minor according to the following:

1. (1) If the guardian is a parent, a Proof of Guardianship form and a copy of the minor's birth certificate is required.
2. (2) If the guardian is not a parent, a Proof of Guardianship form and court documentation verifying the guardianship of the minor is required.
3. (3) Distribution consistent with this rule releases the department and its designated recordkeeper from further liability with regard to your DCP account.
4. (4) The person receiving the distribution pursuant to this rule must choose a distribution date and method on behalf of the minor, consistent with the requirements of this chapter.
