Pursuant to Government Code Section 53245, a person now or hereafter employed by the City and County of San Francisco may file with his or her appointing officer a designation of a person who, notwithstanding any other provision of law, shall, on the death of the employee, be entitled to receive all checks that would have been payable to the decedent had he or she survived. The employee may change the designation from time to time. A person so designated shall claim such checks from the Controller.
