READY TO ENROLL
All the information you

benefits decisions is
included in your 2015
Benefits Guide.
You can find details about:
• TE Health and Welfare Benefits,
including medical, prescription drug,

As you prepare to enroll, think about your answers to the following questions.
HEALTH COVERAGE
ow much health care and what type of care
H
will you need? What medications are you
currently taking?
Do you have other coverage available to you,
such as through your spouse’s employer?
How important is cost of coverage
(contributions out of your paycheck
for coverage)?
How important is cost of care
(out-of-pocket costs including deductibles,
copays and coinsurance)?
RETIREMENT SAVINGS
How much of your paycheck can you afford
to save? Use the Impact on Paycheck
calculator* to see how saving more will affect
how much you bring home.
When selecting your investment options, how
soon will you need the money? If you invest
too aggressively or too conservatively, you
may not achieve your retirement goals.
How comfortable are you with risk?
Consider diversifying your investments to
include a mix of investment options – which
may reduce your risk.
* The Impact on Paycheck calculator can be found by logging on to My TE Benefits Connection at
www.TEBenefits-US.com. Navigate to the Retirement Savings section. From the Savings and Retirement tab
at the top, select Tools and Calculators.
