RMD change when primary beneficiary passes away?

I have a client who is past RBD and has been receiving RMDs according to the uniform table since his spouse was only a year younger. His wife passed away last year. His two children are the contingent beneficiaries. Does his RMD now get calculated from a different table? Does it matter if he updates his beneficiary form to make his children primary beneficiaries?



The uniform table continues to apply so there will be no change to how his RMD is calculated.
