Instructions

You can use this form to authorize us to transfer all or part (at least $1,000) of the value(s) of your TIAA and CREF accumulations directly to another 403(b) investment vehicle. If you have any questions, please call out Telephone Counseling Center at 1 800 842-2776 weekdays from 8:00 a.m. to 11:00 p.m. Eastern Time.


1.   Personal Information. Please complete this section.

2.   Amount of Transfer. Tell us how much you want to transfer from each of your accounts. (Any outstanding loan will reduce your available TIAA Traditional accumulation.) Any partial amount transferred must be at least $1,000 from any account. Please write out in words all percentages.

  If any wish to transfer the full amount from each account, specify one hundred percent for each. If you transfer the full accumulated value of all accounts, your contract will be cancelled. You can keep your contract in force by electing to transfer ninety-nine percent of the accumulated amount.

    We’ll base the amount of the transfer on the value of your account(s) on the date that we receive this properly completed form. If you would like a later effective date (it must be the last day of a given month), please let us know by including a signed and dated letter indicating the month and year the transfer is to be effective.

3.   Your Authorization and Signature. Your signature authorizes us to transfer your accumulation as specified in Section 2 directly to another company.

4.   Company Acceptance. Have a representative from the other company complete this section. Please note that you can’t receive the distribution if it’s to qualify as a direct transfer to another 403(b) carrier. Therefore, we can’t process your transfer request unless this section is completed.

 


Important Note on Maintaining Access to Your Funds. If you are under age 59-1/2, there are IRS cash withdrawal restrictions that apply to a portion of your accumulations. The restrictions affect only those amounts that have accrued after December 31, 1988. You still have full access to cash withdrawals — at any age — from all accounts accrued prior to this date.

This is not the case for accumulations in 403(b)(7) mutual fund accounts. If you transfer your TIAA-CREF accumulation to a 403(b)(7) mutual fund, the withdrawal restrictions apply to the entire amount you transfer (regardless of when you made contributions). This can mean a significant loss of access to your accumulation.

For your protection, some states require a warning against fraud to appear on this form. These states including California, Colorado, Delaware, Indiana, Kentucky, Minnesota, New York, and Ohio require a warning substantially similar to the following.

People who file applications for insurance or statements of claim commit a fraudulent insurance act if they:

 
    knowingly do so with intent to injure, defraud, or deceive any insurance company or another person; and/or
     
    knowingly include in their application or statement of claim any materially false or misleading information; and/or
     
    knowingly conceal information for the purpose of misleading concerning any fact material to the application or claim.

A fraudulent insurance act is a crime, and penalties may include imprisonment, fines, denial of insurance, and civil damages.

New York residents, please note: Civil penalties shall not exceed $5,000 and the stated value of the claim for each such violation.

Colorado residents, please note: Any insurance company or any agent of an insurance company who knowingly provides false, incomplete, or misleading facts or information to a policyholder or the claimant for the purpose of defrauding or attempting to defraud the policyholder of the claimant with regard to a settlement or award payable from the insurance proceeds shall be reported to the Colorado Division of Insurance within the Department of Regulatory Agencies.

Delaware and Indiana residents, please note: Any person who commits insurance fraud is guilty of a felony.
