The move from Dominion Energy employment to retirement can be challenging. As financial experts, we recognize the problems that may lie ahead and have compiled this unique study to answer some of your most important issues about retirement. When it comes to retirement, public-sector employees confront many of the same obstacles as their private-sector counterparts. They are anxious about the sufficiency of their retirement savings and doubt the significance of social security in their retirement preparations. In addition, they must consider the possibility of a pension and whether or not they should invest in standard retirement accounts to augment it. Here are six factors to consider as you near retirement. Always consult a Financial professional to verify that you've covered all of your bases.

Do You Desire Retirement?

8-Aug-15-2022-06-54-28-51-AM

If you look about your neighborhood, you'll find that people of retirement age are still employed, from museum employees to medical professionals to the guy who makes your coffee. These seniors wouldn't be working if it weren't necessary, right? Well, maybe. They may be working because they desire to. Many retirees have stated that the first 24 hours of their retirement were the most enjoyable.

 

After that, they realized that they missed their occupations, the regular routine that a work provides, and everyday interaction with people. Or they may be working because they have no other option. Their retirement savings fell short of their survival requirements. Their Social Security income is insufficient, and their other investments do not appear to make up the difference. There are retirees who never intended to retire. Then retirement occurred, and the retiree's financial situation had the ultimate say: return to work! Then there is the retiree who is enthusiastic about retirement. This retiree does not work for two reasons: they are no longer required to and they choose not to. So, which are you, and how will you achieve your retirement objectives?

 

There are three guiding principles for a successful retirement:

 

PREPARE: Preparation provides the impetus for the majority of other undertakings in life, including starting a business, becoming physically active, taking charge of one's health, and learning a language. The same holds true for your retirement planning. Preparation can help ensure that you are on the right path to achieve your objectives.

 

It took years of hard labor, perhaps decades of sacrifice, and prudent planning to construct your retirement. One mistake, one bad investment, and you've lost everything. There is a time and a place for taking chances, but protecting your money, especially if they have been built up over a lifetime, must take precedence. Do not become distracted with the latest and greatest.

 

PROSPER: Those that meticulously plan their retirements and adhere to disciplined financial methods typically have a prosperous retirement. Start early, remain prudent, and see your money increase. As an Dominion Energy employee, you're now in a position to consider your next steps.

 

Schedule a meeting with your financial advisor to develop a plan. Identify your planned sources of income and expenses. How much will you receive from Social Security, pensions, investment returns in retirement, and other sources? Compare your revenue to your anticipated expenses to get a general notion of where you stand. Working with a financial professional enables you to design a flexible, long-term strategy that can adapt to your needs. Determine your retirement strategy. How much money will you need to sustain your desired lifestyle?

 

Are you interested in traveling? Would you like to relocate to a warmer state or decrease your residence? Consider your costs for medical treatment. You become eligible for Medicare at age 65, so you'll need medical insurance. Such may be offered by your current job to cover the gap if you retire before that age. It may be prudent to purchase additional insurance to fill any coverage gaps. What will your legacy be? How much do you intend to leave your loved ones? Do you have sufficient life insurance to meet your spouse's ongoing living needs if you die first?

 

You can contact your HR department if you have any questions.

Are You Able to Retire?

4-Aug-15-2022-06-54-26-91-AM

Dominion Energy employees may very possibly be required to retire at a certain age. However, contrary to popular belief, the average retirement age for both public and private sector employees is 62. Public and private sector employees experience the same retirement-related fears and uncertainties. Despite the fact that the average retirement lasts between 14 and 17 years, it is prudent for retirees to have enough invested and saved to outlive the average lifespan of 79 years. Budgeting and managing your finances provide a more disciplined outlook on retirement, which reduces financial anxiety.

 

Once you have developed some budget forecasts, you will be more positioned to determine how you wish to spend your retirement years. Multiplying your current monthly expenses by 75% to 85% is a straightforward and reasonable method for estimating your monthly retirement expenses. As an illustration, you spend $3,000 every month while employed. Expect to spend between $2,250 and $2,550 throughout retirement. After determining your expenditure levels, consider your income to get a whole picture.

 

This includes your Dominion Energy Social Security payouts, pensions, and other forms of retirement income. If you have been able to save for retirement through Dominion Energy employment or investment income, you can use the funds to enhance your lifestyle, make up for any income gaps, or cover extra expenses. You will need to constantly monitor your retirement withdrawals over time to maintain the longevity of your retirement funds. A healthy and active lifestyle can add more than five years to a retiree's life expectancy, according to the U.S. Census Bureau.

 

Obviously, one issue with these life-expectancy formulae is 'x': your mortality. You cannot accurately determine your budget with that amount. Despite the fact that your longevity relies on a number of things, including your lifestyle, your health, and your genetics, the data indicates that you can anticipate living longer than your parents or grandparents. By 2060, the average American's life expectancy is projected to grow from 79.7 years to 85.6 years. In the past, the percentage of annual withdrawals retirees could make from their retirement savings was calculated using an outdated calculation, the 4% rule.

 

The guideline may no longer apply in today's more volatile economy. A financial expert can assist you in navigating a complex and confusing investment market. You may not be able to change the 'x' factor, but you can influence the other variables in the calculation.

 

Here are four ways you might modify your retirement formula to achieve a more secure and enjoyable retirement:

  • While still employed by Dominion Energy, you can raise your retirement savings contributions. Maximize your tax-deferred retirement plan contributions. If you are 50 or older, you can make catch-up payments to your retirement account.

  • If possible, defer receiving Social Security benefits. If you are younger than 70, you can enhance your Social Security payments by delaying when you begin receiving them and by pursuing a second career.

  • Consider your existing living expenses. With the children grown and living on their own, it may no longer be necessary to have such a huge home. You should consider moving into a smaller, cozier space. In order to reduce expenses, you can postpone large purchases during the early years of retirement. Thus, you can maintain a healthy retirement account for a longer period of time.

  • There is a mandatory retirement age for many governments employment, but that does not imply you must stop working. Retirement might be a wonderful opportunity to pursue a long-desired job or to try something new. Numerous public employees take use of the option to retire early in order to pursue part-time employment or a second job.

Your years of expertise working for Dominion Energy have afforded you numerous opportunities. You may be able to create your own schedule and pursue hobbies or long-desired interests if you have a part-time job. Employment income may alter the amount of Social Security benefits you get, at least until you reach full retirement age.

How Will Your Retirement Appear?

2-Aug-15-2022-06-54-27-95-AM

An ancient sage once stated, 'People perish where there is no vision.' The same can be said about retirement. Determining when and how you will retire from Dominion Energy is crucial, but visualizing your retirement may be the most crucial aspect of your overall approach. Numbers and schedules are meaningless without a driving vision to propel them forward. Your vision for retirement provides the basis for your later years.

 

Your concept must be meticulously constructed, detail by detail. Once you have an idea of what you will do, how you will spend your time, and where you will travel, write it down. Don't omit any details. How will you fill your time? What are your immediate and long-term objectives? Plan it out. Plan your ideal retirement on a daily, monthly, and annual basis. Do you intend to take a vacation?

 

When and where will this occur? How usually? What plans do you have for the day? Where will you go and what will you specifically do? Do you wish to travel, see your relatives, or join social or recreational groups? Writing down your replies can facilitate the transition to retirement. After laying the groundwork for your vision, you should begin to build upon it. You have already compiled the data. You have already determined the flow of money.

 

Adapt your picture of retirement to the financial realities you've created over your working years. How much money will you have available for trips, for example? Apply your budget to your retirement vision and begin adjusting it so that it aligns with your financial reality. Merging the practical and idealistic sides may result in a more confident and joyful retirement, albeit it may necessitate adjusting your vision or reordering some of your objectives. 

 

Here are some suggestions to assist you with the visioning process:

 

You can contact your HR department if you have any questions.

Who You Are?

6-Aug-15-2022-06-54-27-48-AM

This may be the most crucial question to consider when developing your vision. This is a personality index of sorts. Recall what you do or used to do in your free time while you were employed. What were your leisure activities? Which activities did you wish you had more time for? Consider how you will use your time differently after retirement.

What Is Your Top Priority?

9-Aug-15-2022-06-54-28-43-AM

This relates to imagination. Create a list of the activities you enjoy most. Volunteering, establishing a business, gardening, spending time with your grandchildren, or even returning to school could be on the list. Place the items in order of importance. What is the most essential? Your objective should be to make retirement rewarding and satisfying. Create a list of pet peeves and annoyances on the reverse side. What actions do you wish to avoid? It could be city traffic or needing to wake up early. Create a list of priorities in reverse order.

 What Would You Like to Do?

7-Aug-15-2022-06-54-26-81-AM

Describe your daily routine. What are your plans? Retirement provides at least one valuable commodity: independence. You choose your daily schedule. Establish a timetable to provide anticipation and structure to your day in order to avoid boredom. Obviously, you may alter your timetable at any time; what matters is the concept. Developing your day must involve more than mere wishful thinking. What do you anticipate doing on a normal day during your first year of retirement? How about five years from now?
 
Consider your Inspiration
 Are you having difficulty with certain parts of the brainstorming process? You are relieved to be retiring from Dominion Energy, although not knowing exactly what you wish to do daily. You may perhaps be interested in a change of pace or a whole other activity. After decades of living life in a particular manner, you may be wishing for a change. You may like reading about retirees with odd or intriguing lifestyles.
 
What activities do they engage in, and how do they organize their lives? Not all activities in the south of France must involve skydiving and winery hopping. Occasionally, local newspapers and periodicals publish profiles of remarkable retirees who are making an effect in their communities. Some find having a part-time job to be an energizing pastime that keeps them involved and connected with others while allowing them to maintain a certain degree of independence from the demands of full-time employment.
 
The limit is the sky
 At least in the beginning, do not limit your expectations. Let your mind run amok and follow it to see where it takes you. What have you always desired but never got the chance to accomplish? Perhaps your demanding job in the public sector or the responsibilities of raising a family kept you from exploring the limits of life. Perhaps this is the time. It is not required to be a fantasy. A few decades ago, the idea of conquering Mount Everest may have stirred your inner explorer, but your aspirations may have evolved over time.
 
You could opt to learn the guitar, improve your golf game, restore old vehicles, enroll in sculpture school, or travel to the Grand Canyon. Not to worry about making adjustments. Expect to make modifications later. Lifestyles do change. Your health or situation may affect your retirement plans. Your retirement plans aren't etched in stone.

 How Do You Plan to Pay for Health Care?

1-Aug-15-2022-06-54-27-37-AM

RCOUPLES IN RETIRED STATUS MAY NEED AT LEAST $295,000 TO COVER MEDICAL BILLS...


Improved cardiovascular and infectious disease therapies have increased life expectancy and enhanced quality of life. Current retirees can anticipate living roughly two decades longer. Despite the fact that retirees are living longer, for healthier lives with improved access to health care, expenses continue to be their greatest obstacle, particularly in the context of shifting political opinions on the role of the government in insurance coverage and health care.
 
Analysts anticipate that couples in retirement will need at least $295,000 to cover medical expenses, not including care expenditures. This statistic excludes payments for early Dominion Energy retirees whose Medicare coverage has not yet begun. The estimate includes spending for deductibles and copayments, fees for extra coverage for medical visits and prescription medicines, and other costs not covered by Medicare. Medicare enrollees should allocate 15% of their total budget for health care expenses. Employees in the public sector should explore whether their companies offer extended benefits coverage, which may pay the difference.
 
Here is an overview of the alternatives accessible to Dominion Energy retirees:

  • Employer retiree health plans provide the majority of Medicare supplement coverage for one-third of beneficiaries, but this proportion continues to drop.

  • Medicare Supplement Insurance may provide supplemental coverage to Medicare recipients. The insurance meets Medicare Part A and Part B cost-sharing standards in full or in part.

 

You can contact your HR department if you have any questions.

 What are Your available plan options?

66-1

Evaluating your many retirement plan alternatives can be intimidating, if not downright overwhelming. Your objective is to select a beneficial plan that meets your demands. As your retirement approaches, you should have all the necessary details and plans in place to ensure a seamless and stress-free transition.
 
On the journey to retirement, a financial professional can assist you overcome barriers and unforeseen problems. We can assist you in identifying aspects of your strategy that may want attention and that you may have neglected in recent years. As a public employee, you should be aware of your alternatives and choices for a prosperous retirement. Here is a list of the best strategies:
 
Defined Benefit Plans
Provide participants with guaranteed benefits based on their age, years of service, and income range. Employers manage pension fund investments, but retirement benefits are not contingent on investment performance.10 The Windfall Elimination Provision and other federal regulations may have an impact on your Social Security income. Employers and government organizations have sought to decrease or modify their pension commitments. Consult a financial expert for further information on the potential threats to your benefits.11
 
Plans with Defined Contributions
Allow employees to choose precise amounts or percentages of income to be set aside for their benefits by the employer. The most prevalent employer-sponsored plans restrict how and when employees can withdraw funds without suffering penalties. Common forms include 401(k), 403(b), 457, and Thrift Savings Plans. (TSPs). Employees decide their contribution levels from their paychecks based on the investment options provided by their company.12 The employees retain control over the tax-deferred funds invested in their accounts. The holder of the fund may transfer the money into an IRA or similar fund upon retirement.
 
Both defined benefit (based on the employee's ultimate average income) and defined contribution savings plans are incorporated into hybrid retirement plans. Dominion Energy may offer a cash balance plan that allows workers to make contributions in the same manner as a defined benefit plan. At retirement, however, employees also have the choice of receiving either regular income or a lump sum distribution. In general, the hybrid plan generates lower returns than the defined benefit and defined contribution plans. Popularity is due to the plan's lump-sum feature, which allows participants to roll the money into IRAs or new plans. However, the lump-sum provision makes this provision the most risky. Investors bear full responsibility for their holdings.

Pre-Retirement To-Dos

14-Dec-20-2022-07-05-59-8602-PM

Unprepared retirees face a number of obstacles, despite the fact that retirement provides the door for a richer lifestyle with more options for amusement and leisure. Here is an overview of advice:

  • Paint an image of your retirement future. Dream big. Use your imagination.

  • Carefully calculate your retirement expenses. The more precise you are, the better prepared you will be for unplanned expenses in the future.

  • Consider your projected sources of income. This may include pensions, savings accounts for retirement, and Social Security income.

  • Consider your options for healthcare coverage. Monitor Medicare and insurance expiration dates.

  • Read legal papers such as wills, trusts, medical directives, beneficiary information, and powers of attorney.

  • Contact your pension sponsor to acquire information regarding retirement requirements, payout alternatives, and required papers.

  • Consult a skilled financial expert who specializes in serving customers like you.

What specific factors should employees consider when evaluating their retirement benefits under the Dominion Energy Pension Plan, particularly those who were hired before July 1, 2021? Employees should understand how their age, final average earnings, and credited service impact their monthly retirement benefits. Additionally, what changes might be relevant for those who have transitioned to a different retirement plan under Dominion Energy since 2021?

Evaluating Retirement Benefits: Employees hired before July 1, 2021, should consider factors like age, final average earnings, and credited service when evaluating their Dominion Energy Pension Plan benefits. The formula for calculating benefits includes 1.8% of the final average earnings, multiplied by credited service, minus an estimated Social Security benefit. For those who have transitioned to a Cash Balance Pension Plan after 2021, the benefits are calculated differently, based on employer contributions to the employee's Cash Balance Account.

How does the Special Retirement Account feature within the Dominion Energy Pension Plan complement the traditional pension benefits for employees hired before 2008? Employees need clarity on how this account accumulates funds, the impact of contributions and interest credited according to IRS guidelines, and how it influences overall retirement income during their retirement years.

Special Retirement Account (SRA) Benefits: The Special Retirement Account (SRA) is an additional benefit for employees hired before 2008. This account is credited with 2% of an employee's pay each month and accumulates interest according to IRS guidelines. The SRA can be taken as a lump sum or an annuity, providing extra retirement income. Employees can choose to receive it alongside their traditional pension, enhancing their overall retirement benefit.

For employees considering early retirement options under the Dominion Energy Pension Plan, what are the potential financial implications? Specifically, how are benefits calculated for those who retire before age 65, and what penalties or reductions in monthly benefits must they be aware of regarding their overall retirement strategy?

Early Retirement Financial Implications: For employees considering early retirement, benefits under the Dominion Energy Pension Plan are reduced if taken before age 65. Specifically, the reduction is 0.25% per month for retirement between ages 58 and 60 and 0.50% per month for ages 55 to 58. This results in up to a 24% reduction in benefits if an employee retires at age 55, influencing their overall retirement strategy.

What are the steps Dominion Energy employees must undertake to ensure their beneficiaries are properly designated within the pension plan? This includes understanding the implications for both married and unmarried employees regarding survivor benefits and how to ensure that their wishes are reflected in the beneficiary designations as per the plan's requirements.

Beneficiary Designations: Dominion Energy employees should ensure their beneficiary designations reflect their wishes. For married employees, the spouse is automatically the beneficiary unless a different person is designated with spousal consent. Unmarried employees can choose any beneficiary, ensuring survivor benefits align with their personal circumstances.

In the event of a disability, how does the Dominion Energy Pension Plan provide support to its employees? Employees should understand the eligibility criteria for continued benefits, how credited service is affected, and the options available under both the Traditional Pension and Cash Balance formulas during periods of long-term disability.

Disability Benefits: Employees who qualify for long-term disability under the Dominion Energy Pension Plan continue to accrue credited service until age 65. Those under the Traditional Pension formula maintain eligibility for a pension based on their final average earnings and credited service, ensuring continued support during periods of disability.

How have the vesting requirements under the Dominion Energy Pension Plan evolved, and what does it mean for employees hired before and after July 1, 2021? Understanding these changes is essential for employees to assess their benefits and rights in relation to their service with the company, particularly if they leave before reaching the normal retirement age.

Vesting Requirements: Vesting for the Dominion Energy Pension Plan requires three years of service. For employees hired before July 1, 2021, vesting ensures non-forfeitable rights to pension benefits, regardless of whether they reach normal retirement age. Employees hired after July 1, 2021, are not eligible for the pension plan but may participate in alternative retirement benefits.

How can Dominion Energy employees effectively plan for retirement considering Social Security benefits? It is important for employees to integrate their expected Social Security benefits with their Dominion Energy pension projections, and to understand how each component contributes to their overall retirement income.

Social Security and Pension Planning: Employees should integrate their Social Security benefits with their Dominion Energy pension to ensure a comprehensive retirement income strategy. Using estimated Social Security benefits, employees can calculate how both sources will contribute to their financial stability in retirement.

What resources are available to Dominion Energy employees for estimating their pension benefits and planning their retirement? Employees should be informed about tools and websites like the Your Benefits Resource website, which provides insights into their pension information, including the ability to run benefit projections or request retirement estimates.

Retirement Planning Resources: Dominion Energy provides tools like the "Your Benefits Resource" website, which allows employees to view pension information, run benefit projections, and request retirement estimates. This helps employees plan effectively by estimating future benefits and understanding their retirement options.

Under what circumstances can Dominion Energy employees elect for a lump sum payment of their pension benefits, and what are the tax implications associated with such a decision? Employees need a thorough understanding of the consequences of taking lump sum distributions versus annuity payments, particularly regarding penalties and tax treatments in accordance with IRS regulations.

Lump Sum Payments and Tax Implications: Dominion Energy employees can elect to receive a lump sum payment of their pension benefits. However, lump sum distributions are subject to income taxes and may incur early withdrawal penalties if taken before age 59½. Rolling over the lump sum into an IRA or another retirement plan can defer taxes and avoid penalties.

How can employees at Dominion Energy get in touch with HR or the Benefits Center to clarify any questions regarding their pension benefits and retirement planning? It's crucial for employees to know the best methods to contact the Dominion Energy Benefit Center and the availability of service representatives to discuss their concerns or make necessary changes to their benefits.

Contacting HR and Benefits Center: Dominion Energy employees can reach the Benefits Center by calling 877-434-6996, Monday through Friday, from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. ET. The Benefits Center provides assistance with retirement planning, beneficiary updates, and other pension-related inquiries, ensuring employees have access to support when needed​(Dominion Energy_July 20…).

With the current political climate we are in it is important to keep up with current news and remain knowledgeable about your benefits.
Dominion Energy offers robust retirement benefits for its employees, including a defined benefit pension plan and a 401(k) savings plan, with eligibility varying based on the employee's hire date. For those hired before July 1, 2021, the Dominion Energy Pension Plan provides a monthly benefit at retirement based on years of service and salary, using a pension formula of 2% of base pay multiplied by the number of years of service​ (Dominion Energy Careers). Employees hired after this date are not eligible for the pension plan, but they may still participate in the company's 401(k) plan​ (SEC.gov). The Dominion Energy 401(k) Salaried Savings Plan allows employees to contribute a percentage of their compensation, with a company matching contribution of 4% to 5%, depending on years of service. Additionally, the company provides a non-elective automatic contribution of 4% or 5% of the employee's eligible compensation. These contributions become fully vested after three years of service​ (SEC.gov). Dominion Energy’s plans also include a diverse set of investment options, allowing participants to direct their contributions and employer contributions across various funds. If no directions are made, contributions are invested in a Target Retirement Trust based on the participant's age​ (SEC.gov). Additionally, the Dominion Stock Fund makes up a significant portion of the company's investment offerings. The 401(k) plan includes flexible dividend options, giving participants the choice to receive cash dividends or reinvest them in Dominion Energy stock​
Restructuring and Layoffs: In 2023, Dominion Energy announced a significant restructuring plan aimed at reducing operational costs and streamlining its business operations. The restructuring led to the elimination of several positions across various departments. This move was part of a broader strategy to enhance operational efficiency and adapt to the changing energy market. The decision to lay off employees was influenced by the company's need to align with economic pressures and optimize its workforce in light of ongoing shifts in the energy sector. Importance: Addressing this news is crucial due to the current economic climate, which is marked by fluctuating energy prices and increased regulatory scrutiny. Additionally, the company's restructuring efforts reflect broader trends in corporate strategy during times of economic uncertainty. Understanding these changes helps employees and investors navigate potential impacts on job security and company performance.
Stock Options: Dominion Energy provides employees with Non-Qualified Stock Options (NSOs) and, occasionally, Incentive Stock Options (ISOs). NSOs are commonly offered to a broad range of employees, while ISOs are typically reserved for executives and senior management.
Dominion Energy offers a comprehensive health benefits package for its employees, covering a range of medical, dental, and vision needs. Employees can choose from three medical plan options, all administered by Anthem, and they also have access to a Health Savings Account (HSA) or Healthcare Flexible Spending Account (FSA) depending on the plan. Dental and vision coverage is provided through MetLife and EyeMed, respectively, with options like orthodontia and LASIK discounts. Additionally, Dominion Energy has recently switched its Health Savings Account vendor to PayFlex for 2024. The company also provides extensive parental leave options, including up to 120 hours of paid leave for full-time employees, and resources like the Employee Assistance Program (EAP) and Dependent Care Flexible Spending Account to support families.
