East Muskingum Local Schools Receive Ohio DC Employer Resolution
At Ohio Deferred Compensation we realize how much dedication and hard work is required by employers to advocate for retirement savings. Our Employer Recognition Program recognizes employers who support Ohio DC through collaboration with educational initiatives, cooperation with Field Account Executives’ efforts, and measurably improved participation statistics over time. We would like to announce that East Muskingum Local Schools was formally recognized by the Ohio Board of Trustees as a 2021 Employer Recognition Resolution recipient.

As an employer with less than 100 participants, East Muskingum Local Schools increased annual enrollments 1,100% and truly understands the need for supplemental retirement savings. Access to each building is readily available by top- notch leadership. The district cares about helping employees prepare for a successful financial future.
Update Your Organization's Contact Information
Has the contact information for your organization changed recently or will it be changing soon? If so, please contact finance@ohiodc.org to let us know your new contact information. This is especially important because we no longer mail billing and change reports. We need the most up-to-date email, addresses so we can ensure billings, change reports, and statements are emailed to the correct recipient at your organization.

The SMarT Plan Helps Employees Save
We developed the SMarT Plan at Ohio DC to help participants automatically increase their contributions every year. Using the SMarT Plan can help participants save more for their retirement without having to make a change every year. The SMarT Plan lets participants select a month each year when they want to automatically increase their contributions to their retirement savings in any amount from $5 to $250. Many people schedule their SMarT increase when they normally receive a pay raise. Learn more about SMarT.
