One-on-one help making critical financial decisions

When you need to make an important decision about your retirement savings, John Hancock is here to help. Are you thinking about enrolling in your plan, combining retirement accounts, choosing investments, or leaving your job? Our team of associates can help you—at no additional cost—with guidance, education, and support.

Enrolling in your retirement plan

Taking part in your workplace retirement plan is one of the easiest ways to save for your retirement—and we make it even easier! Call us if you’d like help understanding or enrolling in your retirement plan. Our specialists provide one-on-one personalized support to help you enroll, decide on a savings rate, and choose investments that are right for you.

Contributing to your retirement plan may save you on taxes with each paycheck and, potentially, in retirement.

You can contribute as little or as much as you want (subject to plan and IRS limits).

If your employer offers to match your contributions, it can give your retirement savings a boost!

It’s yours—even if you change jobs, your contributions and earnings belong to you.

For help enrolling, call 855-543-6765

Monday through Friday, from 8:30 A.M. to 7:00 P.M., Eastern time.

Combining old retirement accounts

If you’ve ever changed jobs, you may have other retirement accounts. You can combine those accounts with your current plan, which may simplify managing your retirement savings. Our specialists can make combining accounts easy—we can handle all of the details and even help with contacting your other account providers. Call 877-525-7655 to see if combining accounts is right for you. Or schedule a call and we’ll reach out at your convenience.
