Concordia Plan Services recently announced that we will be changing 403(b) plan service providers from MetLife to Fidelity Investments effective July 1, 2015, and we wanted to share information about your CRSP payroll contribution remittance process:

• At this time, employers currently using EBSO to process their contributions will not have to take any action as a result of the transition to Fidelity.
• Employers who are currently using the MetLife Plan Service Center to process contributions will need to switch to using EBSO. These employers will be receiving a packet of information in early March to help them make this change prior to May 31, 2015.

We also understand your workers may have questions or concerns about the transition and what they may need to do. Help us spread the news about this important change by sharing the following information with your workers.

Concordia Retirement Savings Plan Moving to Fidelity Investments

The Concordia Retirement Savings Plan (CRSP) will be changing service providers to Fidelity Investments, effective July 1, 2015.  Fidelity is one of the largest mutual fund and financial service groups in the world, and has resources dedicated to serving church plans who understand the unique needs of those in ministry.   

Concordia Plan Services will be sharing information directly with organizations and members as the transition nears, however, here are few key points which may answer some initial questions about the move to Fidelity:

• Workers will not be required to take any action. Worker accounts will be transferred from one service provider to another automatically and will maintain the allocation each worker had prior to the move
• If a worker is in the ProManage PROgram™, ProManage will continue to provide asset allocation services.
• Once the transition is made, workers will be able to register on the Fidelity participant website and sign in to view all the details of their account.
• Since Concordia Plan Services selects the funds line-up for the CRSP, the investment funds will not change as a result of the move to Fidelity.
• There will be a short 'blackout' period when workers will not be able to access their accounts. Concordia Plan Services anticipates sharing detailed information about this period in May.

If you have any questions, please call a CRSP representative at 888-927-7526 extension 6008.

Dr. Ferry, President, Concordia University Wisconsin, has officially announced the Concordia Promise.  

We have a bold vision. We want Christians everywhere to have access to the highest quality education at the most affordable prices possible. More than that, we want to be the Church's school, equipping the faithful to make an impact for Christ in ways they never imagined. A significant step towards this goal is removing the financial barriers to lifelong education.

Under the Concordia Promise, high schools students, either home schooled or at Christian schools, can enroll in online dual credit courses for a reduced tuition cost of $50 per credit hour. This means that they earn high school and college credit simultaneously. These students are then eligible to participate in the Concordia Promise Plus. The Concordia Promise Plus is a scholarship in the amount paid for the dual credit courses that is applied toward their undergraduate tuition if the students choose to attend Concordia University Wisconsin or Ann Arbor. Essentially, students receive their first year of college completely for free.

You will also find a downloadable Media Kit available through the website.
