YOUR OPTIONS

Need help? We’re just a phone call away.

 1. A financial professional will walk you through your options.
 2. You’ll learn the pros and cons of each.
 3. When you know what you want to do, we’ll help you get started.

Call 800-247-8000, ext. 1017 to talk through your options with a financial
professional.

A JOB CHANGE FOR YOU MEANS NEW OPTIONS FOR YOUR RETIREMENT ACCOUNT.

Since you've changed jobs, your account options have changed, too. Your money is
still invested, but you can't continue to contribute to your savings. We're here
to help you understand your options so you can make the choice that's right for
you.


YOU HAVE 4 OPTIONS FOR YOUR ACCOUNT.

 * 
   Keep your money where it is
 * 
   Roll your money to an IRA
 * 
   Move your money to a new employer's plan
 * 
   Cash out your account

Leave your savings in the account with your old employer’s plan.

This could be a good fit for you if...

 * You want to keep your savings invested, with the same tax advantages.
 * You're happy with your current account and don’t mind leaving it with your
   old employer.
 * You like your current investment options.
 * You use the online planning tools and resources you have access to today.

But keep in mind…

 * You can't add more money to the account (since it's tied to your old job) or
   borrow money from it.
 * You’re limited to the investments your old employer chooses for the plan, and
   they can change the investments or other plan features (you'll be notified
   first).

To keep your money where it is...

Please inform us of your choice, even if it is to stay in the plan. Your money
will stay in the account, and you can choose a different option later if your
needs change. Log in to let us know or give us a call at 800-247-8000, ext.
1017.

Move your savings to an individual retirement account (IRA). Not familiar with
IRAs? Here’s a refresher.

This could be a good fit for you if...

 * You want to keep your savings invested, with the same tax advantages.
 * You want more investment options—and you’d like a professional to help you
   pick a mix of investments for you.
 * You want to be able to save for retirement in 1 spot that stays with you,
   even if you end up working somewhere without a retirement plan.
 * You want the greater flexibility and control of an account you own
   individually.

But keep in mind…

 * You can’t borrow money from an IRA (although you might be able to withdraw
   contributions for certain expenses).
 * You generally need to be at least age 59½ to withdraw your money
   penalty-free, compared to age 55 for most employer plans (if you leave your
   employer).

What happens in an IRA rollover?

Great question! It depends on what you want to do.

 * If you roll to a Principal IRA, we’ll open your account over the phone or
   online and move your money automatically. Why choose a Principal IRA?
 * If you roll to an IRA somewhere else, you’ll work with that firm to open an
   account and we’ll send you a check to deposit into it.

Move your savings to your current employer’s plan (if one’s available).

This could be a good fit for you if...

 * You want to keep your savings invested, with the same tax advantages.
 * You like the convenience of saving for retirement directly out of your
   paycheck.
 * You’d rather pick from a set list of investment options and you like the ones
   your employer’s plan offers.
 * You might want to borrow money from your account someday.

But keep in mind…

 * If you want to roll outside savings into your account, you’ll need to check
   with your employer first; not all plans allow it.
 * Not all plans allow loans; check with your employer.
 * If you change jobs in the future, you’ll have to decide what to do with your
   account (just like now).

Log in to explore moving to a new plan

You can take some or all of your savings as cash.

This could be a good fit for you if...

 * You need cash now.

But keep in mind…

 * You'll pay taxes on the amount you withdraw, right away.
 * If you're under age 59 1/2, you may also pay a 10% penalty.
 * The extra cash could bump you to a higher tax bracket.
 * You might not have enough savings when you retire.
