TAX DEFERRED 403(b) PLAN

BENEFICIARY DESIGNATIONS

Action required!

Your beneficiary designation will not transfer from Corebridge or TIAA to Fidelity. You will need to establish your beneficiary designation with Fidelity once the blackout period at Fidelity has ended.

With Fidelity’s Online Beneficiaries Service, you can designate your beneficiaries, receive instant online confirmation, and check your beneficiary information virtually any time. Once the transition is complete, log on to Fidelity NetBenefits at www.netbenefits.com/atwork or call Fidelity at 800-343-0860 to designate your beneficiary.

INSTALLMENT WITHDRAWALS & REQUIRED MINIMUM DISTRIBUTIONS (RMD) PAYMENTS

Action may be needed!

If you are currently receiving installment payments or required minimum distributions (RMDs) from the ORP, these payments will not transfer to Fidelity. However, Corebridge and TIAA will advance these payments to be made prior to the begging of the blackout period on November 22, 2024.

It is important that you review your payment election at Corebridge or TIAA and decide if you will need to make changes based on the ORP annuity account balances remaining or establish a new payment election in the ORP at Fidelity once the transition is complete. To review or make changes to your current payment election at Corebridge, please call 800-448-2542 or please call TIAA at 800-842-2252. Online account access restrictions at Corebridge or TIAA may apply.
