Get one-on-one help with your retirement plan Sept. 24

Planning for your retirement is easier than you think! The City’s 457(b) deferred compensation plan gives employees another way to save for retirement by contributing a portion of each paycheck before taxes, after taxes through a Roth account or a combination of both.

Have questions about enrolling, changing your contributions or figuring out whether you’re saving enough? Nationwide Retirement Solutions representative Wilson will be available for individual employee meetings from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Thursday, Sept. 24, in the Benefits Office at the RockCare Wellness Center, 901 Round Rock Ave.

Wilson can help with enrollment, contribution changes, My Income and Retirement Planner, ProAccount, rollovers, distribution requests and special catch-up provisions.

Employees don’t have to contribute the maximum to get started—even $10 per paycheck can begin building retirement savings. For 2026, employees may contribute up to $24,500 total across pre-tax and Roth contributions. The limit increases to $32,500 for employees age 50 or older. Employees within three years of retirement may qualify to contribute up to $49,000 under special catch-up provisions. Wilson can help determine which limit applies.
