Setting Retirement Goals if You’re Under 40 – hosted by Voya

It’s never too early to set financial goals and start saving for retirement. In this session, we’ll show you how to put time on your side. How starting early, saving small amounts over time, and checking your progress will set you up for success. It’s always good to consider talking with a financial professional to help create a plan so you’ll be able to enjoy a retirement you’ve imagined – even if it seems far away.

Job Update? What to do With Your Retirement Savings – hosted by Voya

Because your workplace retirement plan may represent a good portion of your retirement savings, it’s smart to understand your options if you are considering a distribution. Whether you are changing jobs, consolidating your savings within a new plan or an IRA, or thinking about retiring, you should be aware of the several choices available. You could leave your money in a previous plan, roll your money over, take your money out altogether or plan for an income in retirement.

Navigate Uncertainty with the Ups and Downs of the Market – hosted by Voya

What does history teach us about the market? Join us for this in-depth look at what happens when the market dips and tips for staying the course, staying focused so you can reach your long-term financial goals.

Basics of Social Security – hosted by Voya

This session focuses on the basics of Social Security to help you understand the program and how it works. When and how you take your Social Security benefit can be one of the most important financial decisions you’ll make during your lifetime, and it pays to get it right. We’ll also cover who is eligible and looking beyond retirement, along with other ways to utilize this essential pension benefit.

Retirement Income Planning – hosted by Voya

Through Voya’s myOrangeMoney® online experience, you’ll learn about retirement income sources – including Social Security – and understand how to potentially close any gaps in your income goals. Some eye-opening facts about different risks that may need to be managed along with professional advice options will give you strategies to make your retirement income last.

Deferred Compensation 101 – hosted by Prudential

This session will discuss deferred compensation and provide information regarding the opportunity to voluntarily shelter a portion of your wages from federal income taxes while saving for retirement.

As a reminder, we also encourage you to take advantage of our wellness resources on the UHR Wellness website and access many of the wellness seminars previously offered by visiting the Rutgers Employees First Webinar Series website.
