Account Summary Information

The Account Summary screen allows you to view general information about your retirement account. This includes information about your current plan membership and employment, service credit, and your retirement account contributions.

To access the Account Summary screen, click on the Account Summary option in the menu. The Account Summary screen opens. For active members, this is also the screen that appears when you first log in.

Beneath your name at the top of the screen, the first section contains the details of your membership in the retirement plan.

• Current Status - Your membership status in the retirement plan. A status of "active" indicates that you are actively employed and are earning service credit.
• Participation Date - Date that you became a member in the retirement plan.
• Employer - Name of the employer for whom you currently work.
• Date of Birth - Your date of birth.
• Plan - Retirement plan in which you are currently enrolled.
• Employment Date - Date that you began employment under the retirement plan.

Note that the Participation Date, Plan, Employer and Employment Date information is repeated for any additional plans or employers.

The My Service section contains information about your service credit, which is the amount of time that you have worked toward retirement. Service credit, along with your final average salary, is used to calculate your retirement benefits.

• Employment Service - Amount of time, in years, that is used to calculate your eligibility for benefits.
• Benefit Service - Amount of time, in years, that is used to calculate your retirement benefit amount.

The My Contributions section displays the contributions you have made to your retirement account. The amounts are broken down by contribution type, as well as pre-tax, post-tax and interest amounts. There are grand totals at the bottom.

• Contribution Type - Source of contribution.
• Pre Tax - Amount in your account for which no taxes have been paid. Otherwise known as taxable contributions, these contributions are made prior to the calculation of federal income tax. Because no federal income tax has been paid on these contributions, taxes may be assessed on this money when paid out.
• Post Tax - Amount in your account for this contribution type on which federal taxes already have been paid.
• Interest - Interest amount in your account for this contribution type.
• Total - Total of the Pre Tax, Post Tax and Interest amounts for this contribution type.

If you have an active DROP account, you will also see a section that contains information about your DROP account.

Note: If you have an active DROP account, the balances in the My Contributions section do not include contributions posted to the DROP account
