Retirement 401(k) Plan

The NSM 401(k) Plan encourages you to accumulate savings for retirement through convenient pre-tax and Roth (after-tax) payroll deductions. Full time and part-time employees are eligible to participate when you have completed 90 days of service.

There is no open enrollment period for NSM’s 401(k) Plan, but we’d like to take this time of year to remind you of the 401k plan benefit. You can start, stop, or change your contributions at any time.

NSM’s plan offers a wide array of investment funds from which to choose. Prudential also offers the optional use of a GoalMaker tool. This tool assists investors by choosing appropriate funds based on your age, projected retirement date, and risk tolerance.

Employee Contributions

Employees who are at least 50 can take advantage of catch-up contributions. Employee contributions are subject to the annual IRS limits and vest immediately.

To further enhance employees’ ability to save for retirement, new hires will be automatically enrolled in the 401(k) Plan at 3%. This pre-tax contribution will be payroll deducted and invested in Prudential’s age based Moderate GoalMaker. This contribution will remain in effect until you actively elect to change your contribution percentage or investment election, or elect not to contribute to the 401(k) Plan. You will receive additional information regarding the automatic enrollment process.

To make changes to your contribution rate and/or investment elections, initiate a rollover, and designate your beneficiaries, log on to Prudential’s website at www.prudential.com/online/retirement.com or call customer service at 1-877-778-2100.
