Yes. You will continue to have access to the Advisor Service, Choice Service, and EY will continue to provide education and counseling services.

Educational services are being provided to all FRS members through the MyFRS Financial Guidance line – and, it's free. The planners and counselors on the line can help you understand the:

• difference between the two FRS plans;
• importance of retirement planning and anticipating future income needs; and
• basics of investing and how to be an effective long-term investor.

Independent, experienced financial education firms are providing the services for this program. These firms – GuidedChoice and EY – are not connected with either retirement plan and do not sell investment or insurance products, so there's no potential conflict of interest. Under the FRS, you can receive financial information in many different ways, including:

• A personalized Benefit Comparison Statement explains your plan options, plan election deadline, and your MyFRS.com PIN. This statement will be sent to your home addressee.
• The CHOICE SERVICE, an Internet-based service that lets you see what your future benefit would be under both plans, using a variety of different assumptions. The CHOICE SERVICE will also help you determine which investment funds are best suited for you.
• One-on-one plan choice support and investment guidance via the MyFRS Financial Guidance Line - a toll-free phone number for all FRS members: 1-866-446-9377 or TRS 711.
• MyFRS.com Web site, your online source where you can find everything you need to know about the plans and the investment funds, including the CHOICE SERVICE, frequently asked questions, copies of all print materials and more detailed material, if you'd like.

After your Choice period ends – the program expands to include:

• Online ADVISOR® SERVICE, available on this Web site, to help you create a comprehensive financial plan for retirement;
• Additional guidance regarding your second chance to switch plans through the CHOICE SERVICE; and
• Ongoing on-site employee workshops each year on a variety of financial topics, such as Retirement Planning and Investment Planning.
