As you embark on your retirement journey, there are many decisions to make. One of the most important is how you will receive your retirement income.

The District of Columbia offers you a full spectrum of Retirement Income Solutions to help you achieve the life you want in retirement. Your Retirement Income Solutions include:
Periodic Withdrawals are unscheduled withdrawals that occur when you request money from your account.
Systematic Withdrawals are withdrawals that you plan to receive on a regular basis (e.g., 4 percent of your account balance each month, a fixed dollar amount monthly, quarterly, etc.).
Managed Accounts is an option that allows your account to be managed on your behalf by MissionSquare Retirement.
Lifetime Income* is a type of fund designed to help you allocate your retirement assets and receive guaranteed lifetime income. *Fund closed to contributions and fund transfers-in.
Longevity Insurance provides retirement income payments that are guaranteed to last for the rest of your life. But, unlike traditional annuities, the income does not begin at the time of retirement or purchase. Instead, income payments begin later, at an age you decide in advance (must begin payments by age 85).
Traditional Immediate Annuities provide retirement income payments immediately that are guaranteed to last for the rest of your life; income begins at the time of retirement or purchase.
See our Income Solutions brochure for a brief overview of all the retirement income solutions that are available to District of Columbia 401(a) Retirement Plan and 457(b) Deferred Compensation Plan participants.
