As a trusted employer partner, you play an important role in connecting employees with resources that support their long-term financial well-being. A strong understanding of retirement benefits can help employees feel more confident and prepared for the future—and may contribute to employee retention.
To help educate and engage your TRS-covered staff, we have developed the New TRS Member Onboarding Toolkit for you to share with your employees. This collection of resources is designed to help members understand their TRS benefits at a high-level, learn about the Supplemental Savings Plan (SSP), and recognize the importance of planning for retirement early in their careers.
We encourage you to incorporate these materials into your onboarding process. Providing access to these resources can help employees better understand and appreciate their retirement benefits while supporting their long-term financial wellness.
Remember, new members’ information is not sent to Voya until they are reported for the Defined Benefit Plan (DB) via Gemini (after their first paycheck). They cannot enroll or opt out with Voya until approximately three business days after they are first reported for DB.
