If your employees are thinking about their financial future now more than ever, it’s time to talk with a Texa$aver Education Counselor. All Education Counselors are now certified Retirement Planning Advisors (RPAs). The August 5 News About Your Benefits has an article introducing each Counselor.

During these uncertain times, many employees have a lot on their mind – including their financial future. What does retirement readiness look like? Are they contributing enough to their Texa$aver^SM 401(k) / 457 Program account each month? What are the stock market’s highs and lows doing to their investments? 

It’s exhausting, isn’t it? Fortunately, the Texa$aver program (administered by Empower Retirement) has financial advisors available to help.

Your employees can talk with a certified professional about the following:

• Not sure when to retire? Texa$aver Education Counselor can help determine a possible retirement age.
• Wondering where the money will come from during retirement? A Texa$aver Education Counselor can help estimate possible future retirement income from all sources, including their State of Texas Retirement, Social Security, Texa$aver account and other personal retirement savings like IRAs.
• Uncertain about retirement contributions level? A Texa$aver Education Counselor can provide guidance on reaching retirement goals, including savings rate, withdrawal strategy and investment allocation.

See the August News About Your Benefits to meet the Texa$aver Education Counselors.

The newsletter has a brief profile of each Texa$aver Education Counselor. Please forward the article "Plan ahead with confidence: Texa$aver  Retirement Counselors available" so your employees can read about them. Counselors can answer questions and help your employees create a plan to reach their retirement goals. They are available for virtual meetings Monday–Friday at no cost to the participant.
