By logging on to www.trpc401k.com you have the tools necessary to manage your retirement account.

The first time you log in click on New User and enter your SSNUM, DOB and Zip Code.

IMPORTANT: The first time that you log-in you will be required to set a new User ID and Password and security questions. This process is outlined in the “Account View and Account Transactions for the Internet and Voice Response Unit” section of this guide. It is very important that you set up you login credentials or PIN to ensure account security.

Why do accounts become locked or disabled?
As a security measure your account will become disabled if you enter your User ID/Password combination incorrectly three times.

How can I request a Distribution Form?

TRPC has made the process of requesting a distribution from the plan entirely paperless. Participants can request only the types of distributions allowed by your plan document which will typically include one or more of the following:

  • Termination
  • Hardship
  • In-service (i.e. age 59 ½)

 

Participant Actions:

  1. The participant must log in to their account: trpcweb.com
  2. Select Request a Distribution under the “Transactions” menu on the horizontal toolbar.
  3. Follow the step-by-step instructions.
  4. E-Sign the request.

How can I make rollovers into my retirement plan?
If you would like to consolidate your retirement assets into your present Retirement Plan, and your current Plan Administrator confirms to you that your rollover is acceptable to your current Plan, please do the following:

  1. Complete a Request for Rollover Form. To obtain a copy of the Request for Rollover, please log on to our web site and select “Forms” under the Report/Forms drop down menu bar. Click on “View Forms” on the bottom right of the web page and then click on “Rollover Money Into Your Plan”. You can then select whether to save or print the document. (Follow the instructions on the form)
  2. Request a Withdrawal Form from the trustee or custodian of your prior qualified retirement plan or eligible IRA.
  3. Upon receipt, the proceeds of your rollover will be invested using your current investment elections; if we have not received your investment elections, your proceeds will be invested in your Plan’s current default investment. You may then re-direct the rollover into the investment option(s) of your choice using the Internet (www.trpcweb.com) or toll-free voice response system (1-888-673-5440).

Information You Need to Know Prior to Entering a Transaction

Market Value of Your Account
The value of your account balance will change each business day to reflect the investment market changes. The balances will be valued as of the end of the previous business day, or the date prices were most recently received. NOTE: For dates when the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) is closed, your balance will be based on the previous day the NYSE was open. For plans valued less frequently than daily, the value of your account balance will be as of the most recent valuation cycle.

Transaction Request Deadline
Because retirement plans have different needs, we utilize a number of different trading platforms. Please contact your Human Resource department about your specific transaction deadlines.
