2 Your Social Security Benefit The Social Security Administration will give you a benefit estimate at your request. Call (800) 772-1213 and ask for a Request for Earnings & Benefit Estimate Statement. Fill out the form and mail it back. The Social Security Administration will send you a report (in three to four weeks) that shows your employment history and an estimate of your benefits.

3 WHAT IS A 401(k)? IRS regulations allowing for employee income deferral before income taxes are withheld. An employee benefit. A vehicle available to employees which provides for long-term growth of retirement income.

4 WHAT DOES IT DO FOR ME? Accumulative savings for retirement. Current year income tax reduction. No tax on earnings as they grow. Future tax advantages when you receive your income. Competitive investment yields with Transamerica.

5 HOW DOES IT WORK? You elect a deferral of your income in the form of a percentage of pay (1%- 100%). Your company may match a percentage of the salary you defer on a discretionary basis. Your annual taxable income reported to the IRS is reduced by your elected deferral. Your deferred income is owned by you and will accrue at a competitive current rate of interest, tax-deferred, with Transamerica.

9 How Should I Invest My Plan Contributions? Thats a good question! Especially when you consider the difference just a few percentage points of additional investment return can make on your accumulated balance, as this chart shows: Investment of $100 per Month Assumed Investment Return Years 6% 8% 10% 12% 10$16,470 18,417 20,655 23,234 20 46,435 59,295 76,570 99,915 30100,954150,030227,933 352,991 40200,145351,428637,4281,188,242 The right answer for you depends on a number of factors in your own personal situation. These include: How many years until you need to liquidate your account? What other investments do you have? What is your investment goal? What level of risk are you willing to take? Before you try to analyze your answers to these questions, remember a basic theory of investing: over time, you should be rewarded for taking greater risk. For example, despite its ups and downs, over any ten year period in the last 70 years- the stock market has outperformed any other investment category. This is not to say that everyone should invest in the stock market. Every individual is different and has different risk tolerance levels. One way to lower your risk but still participate in the market is to diversify your investments... the old dont put your eggs in one basket theory. With this strategy, even if one type of investment does poorly, the other types are likely to do better.
