Full-time employees are eligible to participate in the FirstEnergy Corp. Savings Plan on your date of hire, and may contribute on a before-tax, Roth 401(k), after-tax or a combination basis. The first 6% of pay contributed is currently matched by the company with FirstEnergy stock at the rate of 50 cents per dollar. Does not apply to Local 777.
New employees are automatically enrolled at a 6% before-tax contribution level invested in the Life Path Fund closest to your 65th birthday. You may waive out of this automatic enrollment or designate contribution levels and investment funds of your choice. You can rollover the tax-deferred portion of a distribution from a previous employer’s tax-qualified plan.
Most Savings Plan transactions can be completed through Fidelity Investments, the plan’s recordkeeper, by phone at 1-800-982-3451 from 8:30 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. (EST), Monday through Friday when the Market is open or by logging on to the Savings Plan website at www.netbenefits.com.
