FAQs

What if I have an account with a previous employer?

If you have an existing retirement plan account with a prior employer, pre-tax contributions under a traditional IRA or amounts under another eligible retirement plan, such as a 401(k), 403(b) or governmental 457(b) plan, you may be able to roll over those amounts into your new plan at the time of enrollment or anytime once you become eligible to receive a contribution under the plan. Your benefits manager can help determine whether you are eligible to make a rollover at this time.
