New 403B Retirement Plan Support
Packets have been mailed to everyone’s homes this week with valuable information pertaining to the transition to the new 403B Retirement Plan, effective January 1, 2018.
There will be Prudential Representatives on-site to provide support and training as well as HR open sessions to help you understand the new plan.  Please refer to your packet for dates, times and locations (schedules also in HR Offices).
Please note that HR staff are not retirement planning or investment experts.  If you have questions about your individual accounts, please contact Prudential directly or visit a representative at one of the many times allotted for on-site visits during the month of December.
More details to come in next week’s Compass.  Stay tuned and be looking for your mailed packet.
