Comprehensive Financial Planning
Free for active participants of Church Benefits Board’s 403(b)(9) Retirement Plan.
“Participating in CBB’s financial planning process helped my family to name and reflect on our unspoken hopes for our future financial wellness. The process prompted us to set goals and priorities and to experience the relief of knowing we have a well-developed plan.”
~Scott Ford, CBB participant
Active participants of the Church Benefits Board 403(b)(9) retirement plan can meet with one of Empower’s CFP® professionals to build a comprehensive financial plan, free-of-charge.
When an active participant of the Church Benefits Board 403(b)(9) Retirement Plan completes their financial plan with Empower, Church Benefits Board will add $500 to their Church Benefits Board 403(b)(9) retirement account.* ** CBB provides this financial planning incentive through generous grant support. Our goal is to encourage all of our participants to improve their financial well-being by building a financial plan.
*The $500 incentive is available while funds last, so do not delay.
**The $500 incentive is processed on a quarterly basis. Deposits of the $500 incentive into a participant’s Church Benefits Board 403(b)(9) retirement account can take up to 90 days.
