New Webinar, To Retire or Not to Retire (This Year), Now Available Online

The newest webinar from the Personal Investment & Retirement Consulting (PIRC) team aired on September 15 and attracted a large and engaged audience of retirement plan participants across the country. If you have employees who may be thinking about retirement in the coming months but didn’t get a chance to attend “To Retire or Not to Retire (This Year): Understanding Your RS Plan Benefit Estimate and Your 401(k) Options,” you can let them know it’s now available online.

Monty Bilkert, a planner on the PIRC team, hosts the program and offers helpful information to employees weighing the decision to retire in 2022 versus 2023.

The webinar may be particularly useful to those focused on their Retirement Security (RS) Plan benefits. For example, for participants who have been considering taking their RS Plan benefit as a single cash payment, this year’s rising interest rates may influence their decision. The webinar covers other variables that can influence the size of a participant’s benefit payment, and it also touches on retirement choices for 401(k) Pension Plan participants.

Your employees can access the webinar on the Employee Benefits website, at cooperative.com > My Benefits > Education & Resources > Personal Investment & Retirement Consulting. This and other webinars are available on the right side of the page.
