Hybrid Retirement Plan:
The June 15 deadline for Hybrid Voluntary Contribution Changes is around the corner.
Why You Should Be Saving
Employer Match – Consider boosting your voluntary contribution amount to 4 percent. If you save 4 percent, you’ll receive 2.5 percent in employer matching contributions!
Tax Savings – Taxes are deferred on both contributions and earnings, allowing you to pay less in taxes now.
Members can make changes to their voluntary contributions each quarter. The cut-off date for changes to an account is 4 p.m. ET on the 15th of the month prior to the next quarter. (For example, members must request the change by 4 p.m. ET on June 15 in order to be effective in the first payroll of July.) If the 15th is not a business day, the deadline will be 4 p.m. ET on the next business day after the 15th.
One-on-One Consultations with our Plan Specialist include the following and will help you gain awareness of the benefits of the defined contribution plans:
- Managing your account online
- Reviewing your contributions
- Investment awareness
- Beneficiary review
