Committee and Staff Reports (Workshop Only) Subject : 6.3 403(b)/457(b) Voluntary Retirement Savings Plan Enhancement Meeting : Aug 8, 2016 - Regular Meeting Type : Information, Report Public Content The Benefits Oversight Group has reviewed and approved the following enhancement to the 403(b) and 457(b) Voluntary Retirement Savings Plans: The addition of a simplified enrollment process – QuickEnroll During the past five years participation in the Plans has decreased from approximately 25% to the present rate of less than 15%. This is due in part to the following factors: • Demographics – more participants are retiring and fewer new hires enrolling • Fewer number of “service-basedâ€� representatives involved in enrollment activities • More employees desiring to access benefits online The Plan administrator, TSA Consulting Group, Inc.(TSACG) has recommended the addition of a simplified enrollment process and a qualified default investment account to allow employees to establish an account in either Plan within minutes. This “QuickEnrollâ€� process can be accessed by any computer, tablet or smartphone. The employee selects a percentage of compensation that is initially directed to an interest-bearing, principal-guaranteed account. At any time after enrollment, the employee may allocate their account balance and/or contributions to a number of mutual fund options or exchange their account to any of the existing investment providers authorized in the Plan without penalty. TSACG will support the QuickEnroll process with communications materials including pamphlets, posters, etc. at no cost to the District.
