EY Financial Wellness Assessment E-blast
Wespath is committed to improving financial outcomes for our participants. Our partnership with EY Financial Planning Services enables us to offer the Financial Wellness Assessment, which promotes financial well-being. Wespath sent an e-blast last week to all participants for whom we have an e-mail address to encourage awareness of financial well-being through the EY Financial Wellness Assessment.
Initial Benefit Payments—July Retirees
Initial benefit payments for July 1 retirees are sent on the second business day of the month. Since banks are closed for the Independence Day holiday on July 4, payments will generally be available:
- within three business days for retirees who are receiving payments electronically, or
- within five business days (but possibly as many as 10 business days in certain parts of the country) for retirees who are receiving paper checks.
A postcard will be mailed to July retirees the week of June 19 to notify them of the potential delay.
If you have questions, please contact the Retirement Team at 1-800-883-4078 or RetirementTeam@wespath.org, or your plan sponsor manager at 1-800-269-2244, ext. 7003.
Early Closing—Friday, June 23
Wespath will close at 11:00 a.m., Central time, on Friday, June 23 for its annual all-employee picnic. Customer service assistance will not be available after that time.
Benefits Access for participants can be used to access account information and make transactions 24 hours a day, seven days a week. The automated phone system, accessible by calling 1-800-851-2201, is also available for participants.
If an urgent situation arises on Friday after 11:00 a.m., please call 1-847-866-4683 and provide your contact information. A Wespath representative will contact you within 30 minutes.
