401(k) Pension Plan Safe Harbor Notices Available October 31

If your cooperative sponsors the NRECA 401(k) Pension Plan with the Safe Harbor provision, watch your Message Center on the Employee Benefits website. On approximately October 31, Safe Harbor notices will be released electronically to co-ops with the provision.

The Message Center alert will contain detailed distribution guidelines and a link to the Retirement Plan Documents page on the Employee Benefits website. Download the notice and give it to employees who are eligible for the 401(k) Plan by November 30, 2016.

Distribution Acknowledgement is Required
After distributing the notice, remember to fill out the acknowledgement form. Follow the link in the Message Center alert or access the page directly at My Benefits > Co-op Retirement > Retirement Plan Documents.

If you have questions about Safe Harbor, find out more about the provision in the Frequently Asked Questions document available on the Employee Benefits website.
