What’s New from TIAA
- Job Transition Web Launch: The latest Essentials Webpage takes a deep dive into career change and how it can affect participants’ finances—no matter where you are in your career journey. Helpful content includes a checklist of navigating job loss and options for handling an employer retirement account.
- Beneficiary Resources: Naming and updating beneficiaries is a critical component of overall financial well-being. To complement the existing beneficiary Webinar and video content, Essentials by TIAA created this informative article featuring real-life participant stories that bring this important topic to life.
You can also access additional tools, resources, and participant-ready content through the Essentials by TIAA Hub.
We encourage you to explore these resources and take advantage of the Webinars and on-campus consultations as you plan for the year ahead.
