To make a change to your existing 403(b) Plan

To change the amount of your contribution to your 403(b) Plan (to any amount, including $0), you will notify our third-party administrator, TCG Administrators.

1. Visit the Group Retirement Plan Portal Login page.

3. Enter your Social Security Number, without dashes.
4. Enter the default password: your date of birth in MMDDYYYY format.
   If this doesn’t work, it means you previously had a username and password for the TCG website. Call TCG at (800) 943-9179 to re-set your login credentials.
5. The system will prompt you to create a unique Username and Password.
6. Enter your contact information and click “Next”.

8. Click “Change Election"

9. Check the appropriate box to indicate whether you are making a pre-tax or Roth (post tax) deferral change 

10. Scroll down to your investment fund vendor and enter your new contribution amount (per pay period deferral amount) in the white box to the right.
11. Click the Authorization checkbox at the bottom of the screen to proceed with your change
12. Review and confirm that all information is correct, including your investment fund vendor name type of contribution (pre-tax or Roth), and new per paycheck deferral amount.  Click “Submit” or "Back" if you need to make corrections. 
13. Your six-digit Confirmation Number will be displayed.  If you do not receive a confirmation number, the election was not finalized.

You may also change your contribution amount by calling TCG at (800) 943-9179.

Enrollment Period

You may make changes to your 403(b) contributions at any time during the year. The change will start with the first paycheck of the month following the date the APS Employee Benefits Department receives the notification of the change.  (TCG Administrators will notify APS of your new contribution amount.) 

Note:  Payroll Department deadlines for summer payroll and prior to winter break may impact this start date.
