The “Go-Live” date is approaching for members with DEA Annuity Fund accounts transitioning from our Trustee Directed Plan to the new Empower Retirement Self-Directed Plan.
The transition period should be completed in early October. Upon completion, members will be able to access their accounts on-line and begin using Empower’s investment tools and planning features to self-direct their Annuity Fund assets.
In a few short weeks members will be notified by the DEA and Empower when the system “goes live”. Once we “go-live”, members can visit empowermyretirement.com and set up their accounts.
Please remember that accounts will not be available on-line before the “go-live” date.
Note: If you already participate in the self-directed plan, this announcement does not affect you. This pertains only to those transitioning from Trustee-Directed to Self-Directed.
