Important Notice: Changes to ORP/TDA Vendors
TSUS, in collaboration with CAPTRUST, selected TIAA as the lead recordkeeper & consolidated to 4 vendors (CoreBridge, Fidelity, TIAA, VOYA). American Funds, Lincoln Investment Planning, Inc, & Pentegra will no longer be offered. We are discouraging employees from enrolling in these plans as they'll have to move their funds out later. Current participants can contribute until 12/31/2024. No action is needed from individual participants at this time, but expect action items in the upcoming months.
