It’s a new year and the perfect time to act on your path to retirement. Here are five things you can do to help you along your retirement journey.
- Log in to the mySFERS Member Portal
Both active and retired members can discover the benefits of SFERS through the mySFERS member portal. Log in using your DSW number on the SFERS website, or through the SF MyApps Portal to check your account details, update your contact information, calculate a retirement benefit estimate, and more. - Register for a SFERS Webinar
No matter where you are on your path to retirement, there is a SFERS webinar to help you along the way. We offer nine webinars in our popular retirement planning series. Click here to learn more.
- Evaluate your “Retirement Readiness” by watching SFERS videos
What does it mean to be “Retirement Ready”? It means earning enough income to support the lifestyle you desire in retirement. Watch the Retirement Readiness video to learn more. Also, visit the SFERS video page for other helpful videos and check back for new SFERS videos coming this year. - Designate or update your beneficiaries
It is essential to be prepared for the unexpected. Be sure to designate a beneficiary on your SFERS account. If you are not sure who is currently designated as your beneficiary, we recommend that you designate a new beneficiary. Log in to the mySFERS member Portal and select the Beneficiaries tab to learn more. - Enroll in or increase your contribution to the SFDCP
The San Francisco Deferred Compensation Plan (SFDCP) is a 457(b) plan that provides City and County of San Francisco employees with a convenient way to automatically save for retirement through voluntary payroll deduction. Visit www.sfdcp.org to sign up or increase your contributions for the year.
