hey all – just a reminder about retirement stuff – STRS – pensions – 403B – 457 – Roth IRA etc – set yourself up now – I am sure you all the saw the email from Matt Brown about the new way the district is handling retirement/ severance and all the rest – NHEA advocated for this in the contract of about 6 years ago after feedback from members to make it easier for you to get paid out upon retirement…Matt has picked this up and has done something proactive with this part of the contract = check out the email he sent about the Plan Connect portal that has partnered with the district for this –
NHEA has brought in financial advisors in the past and Matt sent around the list of those approved reps – if you find his email it is in there – there is a seminar/class being offered by Equitable coming up – follow this link to the flyer – SKM_80823011716490– there is also some contact information in there for this rep for those that might not have an advisor as of yet.
this is just NHEA reminding to not count on your pension to fully fund your retirement –
NEW staff – make sure you opt for the “defined benefit” plan for your retirement – (in NHEA’s opinion) – this is the traditional pension system – these days you have a 5 year window to make sure this is squared away and change your mind – check in on it –
all this is on our minds because the Equitable rep was in the HS today and Nate talked with him for about 30 minutes –
