Log in to your retirement account

Church Benefits Board (CBB) partners with Empower to manage participant retirement accounts. Upon registering your online account, there will be 3 primary steps to customize your enrollment when you access your account for the first time.

1. Confirm Asset Allocations:

When your account is created, the funds are allocated to a Default Vanguard Target Date Fund. Regulations require you to review and confirm/select your fund allocations upon your enrollment. There are two options:

• Option 1: Select the “Choose a Target Date Fund” button and use this PDF to determine which default allocation you should choose based on your birthyear. You can always change this allocation later in your account or with the guidance of an Empower Financial Representative.

• Option 2: Change your allocations based on your financial knowledge or advice from a financial advisor.

2. Option to Elect Electronic Statement Delivery:

Empower will confirm your email address and you have the choice to elect to receive statements and communications from Empower electronically.

3. Designate Your Beneficiary:

The final step is to designate your beneficiary to have it on file with Empower.
