One Piece of the Puzzle
• Think of your SURS benefit, or any retirement benefit for that matter, as just one piece to your retirement puzzle
• After retirement, an estimated 70-80% of pre-retirement income is needed to maintain pre-retirement lifestyle
• Social Security benefits could be affected by the Windfall Elimination Provision or the Government Pension Offset
• Personal savings is a key component to retirement security
• Take advantage of the new SURS Deferred Compensation Program - payroll deducted and tax deferred

Annual Benefit: 61.6% x $48,350 = $29,783
Monthly Benefit: $29,783 ÷ 12 = $2,481

New SURS Deferred Compensation Plan (cont.)
• Why save supplementally?
– SURS members do not contribute to Social Security– It takes approximately 70-80% of pre-retirement income to maintain
your standard of living– SURS DCP can help you reach retirement goals– Additional savings is even more important for Tier II members
• Why choose the SURS DCP?
– You can save as little as $10 (or 1%) per paycheck– Offers 16 best-in-class investment options over multiple asset
classes and competitive fees, including the new SURS Lifetime Income Strategy (LIS)
– SURS LIS is a flexible, hands-off target date fund designed to help members meet retirement income goals
– SURS DCP is closely monitored by trusted fiduciaries
