Learn the plan basics - including eligibility - of each retirement savings plan offered by your employer.

Enrollment - shows details. Click to open.

You are eligible to make contributions to the TVA Retirement System - Fixed and Variable Funds, if you are an Original Benefit Structure or Cash Balance Benefit Structure participant, unless you transferred your balances to the 401(k) Plan on or after May 1, 2005. The TVA Retirement System - Fixed and Variable Funds are after-tax investment options separate from the TVA 401(k) Plan.

Contributions - shows details. Click to open.

You may contribute to the plan by payroll deduction, in whole percentages, or by lump-sum contributions. If you decide to change your contribution amount, you will have to choose a whole percentage. Your contributions to the TVA Retirement System - Fixed and Variable Funds may not exceed $10,000 annually. In addition, your contributions to the TVA 401(k) Plan (on a pre-tax, Roth and after-tax basis), the Fixed and Variable Funds, and TVA matching and any employer automatic contributions may not exceed the lesser of $57,000 in 2020 or 100% of your eligible compensation. The plan allows you to contribute 100% of your eligible compensation.

Lump-sum contributions are allowed once per calendar month. Please contact the TVA Retirement System if you wish to make a lump-sum contribution to the Fixed and Variable Funds.

Vesting - shows details. Click to open.

You are immediately vested in all contributions you make to the Fixed and Variable Funds and any potential earnings on those contributions.

Beneficiaries - shows details. Click to open.

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. To designate a beneficiary, please complete the beneficiary designation form (RS-2), which is available at www.TVARS.com. (After completing the beneficiary designation form, please return it to the TVA Retirement System).

Withdrawals - shows details. Click to open.

Distributions and withdrawals upon termination of employment are governed by the Plan rules and applicable IRS rules. You may not directly withdraw any portion of your TVA Retirement System - Fixed and Variable Funds account prior to termination of your TVA employment. However, you may transfer your total account balances to the 401(k) Plan at any time during employment, subject to the transfer rules. Once transferred to the 401(k) Plan, your funds are available through a loan or withdrawal, subject to 401(k) Plan rules. For more information, please contact the TVA Retirement System or Fidelity Investments.

Options at Retirement - shows details. Click to open.

If you first became an Original Benefit Structure or Cash Balance Benefit Structure participant before January 1, 1996, you may withdraw all or any part of your fund balance in a lump sum, leave your funds in the System and receive a monthly benefit over your lifetime, or roll over all or any portion directly to an IRA or to another employer's retirement plan which accepts after-tax funds.

If you first became an Original Benefit Structure or Cash Balance Benefit Structure participant member on or after January 1, 1996, you must withdraw in a lump sum or roll over your entire fund balance within 60 days after your employment ends. No additional interest will accrue on your Fixed Fund after 60 days. Or you may, prior to termination of your employment, transfer your entire fund balance to the 401(k) Plan.

Moving money - shows details. Click to open.

Fidelity

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.

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.

4The target date funds are designed for investors expecting to retire around the year indicated in each fund's name. The funds are managed to gradually become more conservative over time as they approach the target date. The investment risk of each target date fund changes over time as the fund's asset allocation changes. The funds are subject to the volatility of the financial markets, including that of equity and fixed income investments in the U.S. and abroad, and may be subject to risks associated with investing in high-yield, small-cap, and foreign securities. Principal invested is not guaranteed at any time, including at or after the funds' target dates.
