To observe National Save for Retirement Week, the Oregon Savings Growth Plan (OSGP) will hold an open house on Thursday, October 23, 2008, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the Archives Building at 800 Summer Street in Salem. Staff will be on hand to answer your questions and help you complete enrollment forms. Snacks will be provided and door prizes awarded. If you work in the area, we hope to see you there. As a state employee, you are automatically eligible to enroll in OSGP, a voluntary 457(b) plan that offers low fees and diverse investment options, including the new LifePath(r) funds that are designed to provide an investment strategy appropriate to your age and expected retirement date. If you already participate in OSGP, this may be a good time to increase your contribution or change your contribution from a dollar amount to percentage of pay. That way, with any future salary increases, your deferral will automatically increase. If you are not currently participating, this is your opportunity to start saving for the future. You can save tax deferred, which means a tax savings for you at the end of the year. You may also be eligible for the Tax Saver's Credit; for more details, go to www.irs.gov . To enroll in the plan, or for more information about OSGP, check out http://oregon.gov/pers/osgp . If you have questions or would like an enrollment kit sent to you, please call the Salem office at 503 378-3730. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
