Can’t make it to our live session? Or ready to take action now?
Explore these quick steps below—they’re simple, but they can make a big difference in your retirement savings.

  1. Increase your contribution rate. It is generally recommended to contribute between 10-15% of your pay towards retirement. Can’t get there now? A 1% increase each year can get you there over time!
  2. Review your account balance. Are you on track to meet your retirement goals? Or is it time to make changes? The Mile Marker tool in your account can help you determine your retirement surplus or shortfall.
  3. Review your investments. Over time, market performance may cause our investments to move from our intended allocation. Periodic changes or rebalancing can realign your investments with your intended risk tolerance.
  4. Update your beneficiaries. Your stated 401(k) beneficiaries determine where your money goes if something happens to you. Be sure to review annually for accuracy.
  5. Keep in touch. Ensure that your account has your correct contact information. You can change your cell phone number or email at anytime in your Participant Portal. If you need to update your mailing address, contact your employer.
