New Managed Account Option

The retirement committee has elected to offer you the ability to utilize a managed account option through John Hancock for you main MPP account (employer contributions). The equivalent in Nationwide is known as the "ProAccount". Scott Higgins will remain with us and assist as normal. This new option (if elected by you, for your account), allows you to have John Hancock and Morningstar manage your account for a fee.

Managed Account Fee Information

What is a 401(a) plan?

Main Retirement Account (John Hancock)

PLAN HIGHLIGHTS

Government agencies, non-profits, etc normally offer a 401(a) plan. Depending on your hire date, the County contributes either 10% or 16% of your Gross Pay into your John Hancock account each pay period.

You default into a "Balanced Fund" which is a particular set of funds designed by John Hancock which isn't too aggressive and isn't too conservative. We highly recommend meeting with Scott Higgins to see if there is a better plan for your goals and your age.

What is a 457(b)

Deferred Comp (John Hancock or Nationwide)

PLAN HIGHLIGHTS

This type of account is optional; you must sign up and register for an account.

YOU contribute whatever amount you want. The funds are deducted from your paycheck PRE-Tax.

There are 2 types of deferred comp accounts available for you. Choose one.

1. The John Hancock account is ONLY for Sheriff's Office employees. Your retirement committee oversees this plan with Scott Higgins, similar to the main account.
2. The Nationwide account is for ALL County employees. This plan is managed by the County and the retirement committee has no input or oversight over this plan.
