All district employees:
Employees should have the following information readily available to enroll:

• The amount you wish to contribute per regular pay period
• How you wish to distribute your plan contributions (investment options PDF)
• Personal information such as your address and Social Security number

Employees with an existing ASD 403(b) account:
Employees may transfer or rollover funds from other qualified 403(b) plans into the district’s plan with Great-West. Those who choose to transfer their funds to Great-West must complete a transfer form. Check with your current vendor to see if fees apply. Employees who have an existing 403(b) account with the district should have received a PIN number from Great-West. See instructions below if you lost your PIN or need a new one. Use the PIN number to establish your Great-West account, select investment options and name beneficiaries (see online instructions).

Employees who are setting up a new account:
New employees should receive a PIN number from Great-West allowing them to establish an online or phone account. If you do not have a PIN, call Great-West client services at (800) 232-0859 (weekdays 5 a.m. to 5:30 p.m., Alaska time) to receive a PIN number that is valid for 24 hours or request a PIN online (see instructions). After receiving a PIN, you can access the Great-West Web site and enroll online.

Employees who want to change the amount they currently contribute:
Employees can change the amount they contribute to the plan using the Great-West Web site or by submitting a salary deferral agreement form to the ASD Payroll Department.

Employees without Internet access:
