Learn the plan basics - including eligibility - of each retirement savings plan offered by your employer.
You are eligible to enroll in the plan immediately. Please note that your plan number is 62610.
Your enrollment becomes effective once you have set up your Fidelity account and indicated how much you'd like to contribute, also known as the deferral. To set up your deferral, please complete the Salary Reduction Agreement Form. Once you have completed the Salary Reducation Agreement Form, you will generally begin to see your contributions deducted from your paycheck in the next pay period, or as soon as administratively possible.
The completed Salary Reduction Agreement Form should be mailed to the following address:
Human Resources Auburn University 1550 East Glenn Avenue Auburn, AL 36849
You can contribute between 0% and 100% of your eligible pay, up to the annual IRS dollar limits. Please contact the Auburn University Payroll & Employee Benefits Office to determine if you are allowed to contribute more than 50% of your salary to the Plan. Click here to view the current year's contribution limit.
With Roth contributions, you can make after-tax payroll contributions to your plan and withdraw those contributions tax-free (subject to the terms of the plan). Your earnings may also be withdrawn tax-free if you have a qualified distribution. A qualified distribution, in this case, is one that is taken five tax years after the year of your first Roth contribution and after you have reached age 59˝, become disabled, or died.
Unlike a Roth IRA, there are no income limits to be eligible for a Roth 457(b) option within an employer-sponsored retirement plan. Generally, a Roth contribution may be beneficial if you expect your tax rate in retirement will be higher than it had been during the years you contributed.
For information about a Roth conversion, please call a financial professional at 1-800-343-0860.
If you are age 50 or older, you have the ability to make additional contributions to your plan, up to the current IRS dollar limits. View the limits here: IRS DOLLAR LIMITS
When you are "vested" in your savings, it effectively means the money is yours to keep. You are always 100% vested in all contributions you make to your plan, as well as any earnings on them.
Your beneficiary or beneficiaries will inherit your account in the event of your death. You should consider identifying a beneficiary when you enroll in your plan, and updating the information if you experience a life-changing event such as a marriage, divorce, birth of a child, or death in the family.
Fidelity's Online Beneficiaries Service, available through NetBenefits® offers a straightforward, convenient process that takes just minutes.
Go to 'Profile' in the navigation bar at the top of your NetBenefits® page and click on the 'Summary tab' and then 'Beneficiaries'.
You are generally allowed to withdraw money from your plan when you leave your employer, retire, or reach age 70˝. Also, you may be eligible for a distribution if you have an unforeseeable emergency as defined by your plan. Withdrawals may be subject to income taxes.
For more information, call the Fidelity Retirement Services Center at 1-800-343-0860. You may also review the Rollover Education document for additional information regarding items to consider when taking a withdrawal. Auburn University requires that you complete the Distribution Acknowledgement Form when you request a withdrawal. This form is located under Tools & Resources. Next, click on Forms & Documents.
Note: The taxable portion of your withdrawal that is eligible for rollover into an individual retirement account (IRA) or another employer's retirement plan is subject to 20% mandatory federal income tax withholding, unless it is directly rolled over to an IRA or another employer plan. (You may owe more or less when you file your income taxes.) The plan document and current tax laws and regulations will govern in case of a discrepancy. Be sure you understand the tax consequences and your plan's rules for distributions before you initiate a distribution. You may want to consult your tax advisor about your situation.
If you have retirement savings in another employer's plan or in an IRA, consolidating accounts may help make it easier to manage your savings but there are several options. Be sure to consider all your available options and the applicable fees and features of each before moving your retirement assets.
If you're not sure about the best option for you, talk to a Fidelity representative today. They can explain each option in greater detail so you can make the best choice for your specific needs.
Online, on the phone, or in person, you have access to your account the way you want it. Log in online to NetBenefits® virtually 24/7 or call Fidelity at 1-800-343-0860 to speak with a representative or use the automated voice response system.
Fidelity financial professionals provide complimentary one-on-one consultations for participants in your plan. You can also contact Fidelity for a statement of your account by calling 1-800-343-0860 or visiting NetBenefits®.
A little extra saved today could make a big difference in retirement.

Before investing, consider the investment objectives, risks, charges and expenses of the fund or annuity and its investment options. Contact Fidelity for a prospectus or, if available, a summary prospectus containing this information. Read it carefully.
** The current yield of the money market mutual fund listed above reflects the current earnings of the fund, while the total return refers to a specific past holding period.
*** The yield without applicable waivers or reimbursements, whenever Fidelity is subsidizing all or a portion of the fund's expenses as of the current reporting period. Absent such waivers or reimbursements, the returns would have been lower. Waivers and/or reimbursements may be discontinued any time.
Investing involves risk, including risk of loss.
Footnotes 1, 2, 3 and 4 below pertain to the performance tables located on the Investment Options tab:
1 Stock markets are volatile and can fluctuate significantly in response to company, industry, political, regulatory, market, or economic developments. Investing in stock involves risks, including the loss of principal.
2 Total returns are historical and include change in share price and reinvestment of dividends and capital gains, if any. These figures do not include the effect of sales charges, if any, as these fees are waived for contributions made through your retirement plan. If sales charges were included, returns would have been lower. Life of fund figures are from the inception date to the period shown. For unitized funds, the inception date shown may be that of the fund's underlying investment option. For non-mutual fund pools and trusts whose strategies may be offered to multiple clients, and whose returns may be based on a composite, the inception date shown may be the beginning date of the composite's returns.
3In general, the bond market is volatile, and fixed income securities carry interest rate risk. (As interest rates rise, bond prices usually fall, and vice versa. This effect is usually more pronounced for longer-term securities.) Fixed income securities also carry inflation risk, liquidity risk, call risk, and credit and default risks for both issuers and counterparties. Unlike individual bonds, most bond funds do not have a maturity date, so holding them until maturity to avoid losses caused by price volatility is not possible.
4Target Date Funds are an asset mix of stocks, bonds and other investments that automatically becomes more conservative as the fund approaches its target retirement date and beyond. Principal invested is not guaranteed.
