Dear Active Members, Retirees, and Beneficiaries,
Welcome to the Spring edition of Retirement Today!
As we move into the spring season, it’s a great time to review and update important information related to your retirement benefits—especially your beneficiary designations. Keeping your beneficiaries current is one of the most important steps you can take to ensure your benefits are distributed according to your wishes. Life changes such as marriage, divorce, the birth of a child, or the passing of a loved one can all impact your selections. We encourage you to take a few moments to review your information and make any necessary updates.
We also want to remind members of the importance of protecting your personal and financial information. Cybersecurity threats continue to evolve, and it’s essential to remain vigilant. Be cautious of unsolicited calls, emails, or messages requesting sensitive information, and always verify that you are communicating with a trusted source. Taking a few simple precautions can go a long way in helping you avoid fraud and safeguard your retirement benefits.
April is Financial Literacy Month, making it the perfect time to assess your overall financial wellness and ensure you are saving adequately for retirement. ERS offers monthly financial education seminars designed to support you at every stage of your journey. Whether you are just beginning your career or preparing to retire, these sessions can help you better understand your options and make informed decisions. You can also schedule a one-on-one appointment with a retirement analyst for personalized guidance.
Thank you for allowing us to serve you. We remain committed to providing the tools, resources, and support you need to build a secure financial future.
Warm regards,
David A. Randall
Executive Director
