Retirement Plans and Financial Benefits
Elbert County is proud to inform all of you of some positive changes to our retirement plan offerings. The goal is to provide all employees with a plan which would allow you to benefit from a lower cost structure, improved investment options, streamlined administration and a high level of retirement planning.
With this as the goal, we are pleased to announce we will participate in the Southern Education Retirement Consortium (SERC). Our new collaboration will provide you with more opportunities to learn about the importance of retirement planning and help you get on track for a secure financial future. Some of the benefits you will receive as a result of this change include:
-
Improved plan governance
-
Plan simplification and design flexibility

Professional plan management
-
Professional oversight of investment options
-
Improved transparency

Potentially lower fees and expenses
