*Converted from Defined Benefit (DB) to Defined Contribution (DC) Plan
Please Note: the Employer portion is made up of both Employer "Base" contributions and Employer "Match" contributions. The Employer Match is only visible on the payslip, under "Employer Paid Benefits".
You are in the Defined Contribution Plan administered by Empower. You can access your account information by phone at 833-OAK-GOV1 (833-625-4681) or via empower.com/oaklandcounty.
These are set retirement plans and no additional before-tax monies can be contributed.
However, you may contribute up to an additional 10% of your wages out of your paycheck on an after-tax basis to this account. You can begin, end or change the amount of your after-tax contributions on a bi-weekly basis. This may be accomplished by calling Empower or visiting empower.com/oaklandcounty.
The vested portion of the money contributed to this plan by the County and your before-tax contributions are available to you at the time you separate from employment or via the loan provision of the plan. The money you contribute after tax (if you choose to do so) can be withdrawn once each calendar year.
You may invest the money you contribute and the money the County contributes in a variety of investment options. Please visit empower.com/oaklandcounty to view/change your investment options.
You gain ownership (“vest”) in the money the County contributes according to the following schedule:
| Years of Service Completed |
% Vested |
| 2 |
20% |
| 3 |
40% |
| 4 |
60% |
| 5 |
80% |
| 6 |
100% |
For example, if you were to leave County employment after 5 years of service, you would be paid all of the money in the fund(s) that held your contributions and 80% of the money in the fund(s) that held the County contributions.
***Some bargaining units may differ.
