The brief 401(k) enrollment video above provides easy, step-by-step instructions on how to enroll in your employer’s 401(k) retirement plan utilizing the Slavic401k website. Follow the instructions and it should be smooth sailing to get started on building your 401(k) for retirement savings. If you experience difficulties, our Support Center can provide additional information.
- To begin, go to Slavic401k’s Home page and click the blue “Enroll Now / Opt-out” bar at the center of the screen.
- Enter your social security number and date of birth. This allows us to pull up your records.
- Click “Start Enrollment.”
- Your name and other personal information will be pre-populated based on records given to us by your employer. If necessary, you can update or change your contact details before moving on, so please make sure that your information appears accurate. Check the box to confirm that you have received the disclosures, and then click “Save & Next.”
- Determine how much of your paycheck to contribute for your employee contributions. If you are unsure, we have calculators here to help you make that determination.
- Select an investment option. The options available to you may be different than what you see in the video above. Select how you would like to invest in your 401(k) plan and follow the prompts to make fund selections.
- Once your investments are selected, add beneficiaries to your plan in case you’re unable to receive your funds personally – this will ensure that your retirement savings go to those you have designated as recipients. Enter your full name, date of birth, social security number, relationship, and percentage. Be sure the beneficiary recipient percentage allocation adds up to 100% total for all of your recipients, together.
If you are married and wish to name someone other than your spouse as the primary beneficiary of your retirement savings, your spouse must consent to this designation by completing the Spousal Consent Form.
- Review your retirement account information and modify if necessary. Click “Confirm.”
- Now simply read and sign the authorization form to complete the 401(k) enrollment process. Elect if you would like to opt-in for electronic delivery and email express. Select the checkbox to confirm that all information provided is accurate and complete, then click “Submit Application.”
You are now enrolled in your 401(k)! Congratulations!
