Ep 44 – Should I move my Plan 3 benefits?

Free Washington Retirement Planning Community and Courses

What should you actually do with your Plan 3 account once you retire?

This is one of the most common questions Washington State employees ask, and the answer isn’t one-size-fits-all.

In this episode, we break down the real options you have after separating from service, including when it makes sense to keep your money in Plan 3, move it out, or use it to create additional guaranteed income.

We also walk through how the TAP annuity works, when it might make sense, and why it can be a powerful tool for covering fixed expenses like healthcare in retirement.

Then we shift into a full update on recent Washington State retirement-related legislation, including what passed, what didn’t, and what it could have meant for your pension.

Topics covered:

– What to do with your Plan 3 account after retirement

– When a TAP annuity makes sense

– Why many people choose to roll funds into an IRA

– Investment flexibility and tax planning opportunities

– Recent Washington State pension and benefits legislation updates

If you’re approaching retirement or just planning ahead, this episode will help you think through your next move with your Plan 3 money.
