401K Update: What you need to know about the migration to Empower Retirement

Last year, Empower Retirement purchased Mass Mutual (our 401k provider). As a result, at the end of this month, all Mass Mutual data will be migrated over to Empower Retirement.

It is important to note that all of your information and investments will transfer over automatically, and no action is required from you. However, you will not be able to transact on your 401k account between Friday, Oct. 28 and Wednesday, Nov. 2 while this data migration takes place. 

Starting on Wednesday, Nov. 2 you will be able to access your 401k account using the new Empower portal. Look out for further communication directly from Empower Retirement with instructions on logging into your new account. 

We are excited about the Mass Mutual migration to Empower for many reasons: 

• Empower has a top-rated user interface (including a mobile app!) for you to access, view and transact on your account.
• Empower has an extremely robust team of customer service representatives and financial associates to support you day or night.
• Empower’s status as an industry leader has resulted in over 89 best-in-class awards. 

You can learn more about this migration and preview what the new site will look like by visiting the Empower Participant Site. 

As a reminder, you can get to your 401k account portal by following this guide.
