With your status now as “retiree,” we hope you’re enjoying your role, one that includes relaxing and spending time with family in addition to the service you likely still provide. Concordia Plans cares for you in your retirement with income benefits, health benefits and resources designed specifically for you.
Your pension
Your Concordia Retirement Plan pension benefits provide you with a source of steady income throughout your retirement.

Why keep your money in the CRSP 403(b)?
Remember, you don’t have to begin taking money from your account as soon as you retire, nor do you have to rollover your funds into an IRA or other account.
There are many advantages to keeping your money in the CRSP through your retirement years.
