HOW TO ENROLL WITH
TIAA-CREF

To enroll, you must complete your Enrollment Form and Plan Contribution Allocation Administrative Form, and sign the notice on prospectuses and documents. There is also one optional form — the Spousal Waiver Form — that depends on your bene-ficiary designation if you are married. When these are ready, simply return your completed forms to: TIAA-CREF, Keogh Department, P.O. Box 1272, Charlotte, NC, 28201.

Your enrollment with TIAA-CREF can be completed in four easy steps that are outlined below.

STEP ONE

COMPLETE YOUR ENROLLMENT FORM

The instructions will guide you through completing your enrollment form. Please be sure to read the agreement in section 6 before signing and dating the form.

You are eligible to open a Keogh with TIAA-CREF if you have self-employment income and you:

 

 

are employed with or retired from an eligible institution, or serve as trustee of an eligible institution;

 

 

have an existing contract with TIAA or CREF (TIAA-CREF Mutual Funds or TIAA-CREF Life Insurance Company products are not applicable);

 

 

are the spouse/domestic partner with self-employment income of a person who meets the above criteria, subject to state regulations.

Eligible institutions include colleges, universities, private schools, public K-12 schools, teaching hospitals, museums, cultural institutions, and libraries, as well as other nonprofit organizations that are primarily engaged in education or research.

STEP TWO

SELECT YOUR ALLOCATION

Select the accounts to which you would like to allocate your contributions by completing the Plan Contribution Allocation Administrative Form. For information about the accounts available, please see “Your Investment Choices.” There may be transfer and withdrawal restrictions on some or all of the accounts and funds. You may change your allocation at any time in the future.

If your allocation is invalid in any way, your contributions will be allocated to the CREF Money Market Account. Upon receiving clarification from you, we will apply all future contributions according to your instructions.

STEP THREE

COMPLETE THE SPOUSAL WAIVER FORM (Applicable only if you are married)

If your Keogh plan is subject to the Employee Retirement Income Security Act (ERISA), your spouse is entitled to at least 50% of the death benefit under the plan. If the plan is not subject to ERISA, your spouse is entitled to the percentage specified by the plan. Therefore, your spouse must consent and sign the waiver if you wish to name someone else for more than 50% (or the amount specified by the plan) of the death benefit. Generally, waiving spousal rights is available if you are age 35 or older.

STEP FOUR

SIGN NOTICE ON PROSPECTUSES AND DOCUMENTS

You should read the prospectuses for the accounts and funds carefully before you invest. Please acknowledge that you have received the prospectuses and supplementary documents on CD by signing the notice.

GENERAL INFORMATION

Whenever a new account is opened, federal law requires all financial institutions to help the government fight the funding of terrorism and prevent money laundering activities by obtaining, verifying and recording information that identifies each person who opens an account.

For this reason, we request your name, address, date of birth, Social Security number (or taxpayer identification number), telephone number and other information that will allow us to identify you. Without this information, we may not be able to open an account or process any transactions for you.

State regulations require that you provide information on any existing annuity or life insurance contracts that would be replaced by the TIAA-CREF account for which you are applying. If your new TIAA-CREF account is going to replace more than one existing contract, please include that information on an additional page with your name and Social Security number.

Need Help? For assistance in setting up your Keogh plan, please call us at 800 842-2776 Monday to Friday from 8 a.m. to 10 p.m. or Saturday from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. (ET).

Your Keogh plan may offer mutual funds as an investment choice in addition to the TIAA and CREF annuities. The TIAA and CREF annuities and amounts in any of the mutual funds cannot be assigned and do not allow for loans. All contributions must be remitted under the terms of your Keogh plan. Your Keogh plan may limit your ability to make withdrawals and transfers from the TIAA and CREF annuities and amounts in any of the mutual funds.

 

 

 

Cash withdrawals and transfers from the TIAA Traditional Annuity are currently not subject to a surrender charge. If such a charge is imposed in the future, you would receive three months’ advance notice, and the charge would apply only to subsequently remitted premiums including any amounts transferred from the CREF accounts, the TIAA Real Estate Account or the mutual funds after the charge is imposed.

 

 

 

The accumulations in and the benefit payments from the CREF accounts, the TIAA Real Estate Account, and the mutual funds are variable and not guaranteed; they depend on the investment performance of these accounts.

 

 

 

Your beneficiary designation will apply to your TIAA and CREF annuity certificates and to the mutual fund accounts for which TIAA keeps records. Under your plan, your spouse has the right to a death benefit. If the plan is subject to ERISA, your spouse is entitled to at least 50% of the death benefit specified by the plan. If the plan is not subject to ERISA, your spouse is entitled to the percentage stipulated by the plan. Your spouse must consent to any beneficiary designation that doesn’t meet this requirement by completing the “Waiver of Spouse’s Right to Preretirement Death Benefits.”

 

 

 

I have read and acknowledge all provisions of this enrollment form.


 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Under penalties of perjury, you certify that the taxpayer identification number shown on this form is your correct Social Security number.

 

 

 

 

 

The Internal Revenue Service does not require your consent to any provision of this document.
