Update on Projection Tool for Active Clergy

The Retirement Benefits Projections tool in Benefits Access (benefitsaccess.org) has been updated for active Clergy Retirement Security Program (CRSP) participants whose retirement date is after January 1, 2026. The tool will project retirement benefits under the Compass plan beginning on January 1, 2026. In addition, clergy with a Ministerial Pension Plan (MPP) balance can model two distribution choices for the 65% balance: LifeStage Retirement Income or annuitization. Thank you for your patience as we continue to update our systems.

Participant Communications

On October 16 and 17, we are sending an eblast to participants notifying them of the availability of their third quarter statement in Benefits Access (benefitsaccess.org). This eblast also included a link to our third quarter financial market recap video.
