URS is offering more one-on-one retirement planning sessions here at the GEC on April 25th, May 2nd, May 9th. If you’re interested in scheduling one, please see the attached flyer to sign up. They fill up very quickly! These sessions are great if you’re new, mid-career, or closer to the end of your career.
***Please know that URS will never reach out to you directly to schedule an appointment. You must log into your urs.org account to schedule a meeting. If you receive emails or phone calls asking you to set up a retirement meeting, it’s not URS.

Regarding Outside Advisors:
Every so often URS hears of stories from members about meeting with a URS representative who sold them a product (annuity, insurance, death benefit, etc.). URS wants to get the word out that our Advisors do not contact members to schedule meetings about their retirement benefits and URS does not sell products. If you have employees that are looking to learn more about their URS retirement benefits, URS would love to meet with them. These sessions are scheduled online through the www.urs.org website.
