NRECA pension being affected by changes to GATT interest rates?

Help keep your retirement plan on track in light of interest rate changes

Choosing whether to take a lump sum distribution from your pension, take the annuity or leave it is an important decision. It can play a critical role in whether your overall financial strategy, including retirement, stays on track.

It's helpful to answer the following questions:

• What are my options - Should I take the lump sum, take the annuity, roll it into an IRA or leave it in the current plan?
  Understanding your choices and the pros and cons of each can help you make an informed decision. For example, you'll want to know how a large increase in the GATT and/or PBGC rates could affect your lump sum payout. Plus, if you take the lump sum how you should invest during these turbulent times.
• What should I know to avoid any mistakes?
  With today's market volatility, how do I invest it to meet my goals? In addition to understanding the ins and outs of your choices, knowing what questions to ask a financial advisor, tax professional or estate planning attorney, can be particularly important.
• Should I work with a financial advisor?
  If you decide you want to work with a financial advisor, you should have a list of questions and criteria ready to evaluate your options. Selecting someone who best meets your needs is critical.
