How to make an IAP target-date fund election online

Each September, members who have not retired from their Individual Account Program (IAP) can make a “Member Choice" election, which allows you to pick a Target-Date Fund (TDF) that better reflects your retirement savings goals or your personal risk tolerance. Learn more on the IAP target-date funds webpage.

Follow these steps to make your election in Online Member Services (OMS) from September 1-30.


Step one

Log into OMS. Please make sure you have OMS open in only one web browser or tab.

 


Don't have a login?

Click Open a New Account on the login page and follow the prompts. Once you have created your account, use your new User ID and Password to log into OMS.


Step two

Click the Member link listed under Account Type.



Step three

Click the IAP TDF Information link from the Site Navigation sidebar on the left of your Account Summary page.

 


Step four

You are now on the main IAP TDF Information page. From this page, you can:

  • Review your current IAP TDF.

  • Choose a different TDF for the upcoming calendar year. (Remember: You can only do this once during the annual Member Choice election window from September 1-30.)

Click Add New TDF to proceed.

 


Step Five

You are now on the IAP TDF Election page.

Your Current IAP TDF shows the IAP TDF you are invested in for the current calendar year.

Notice: You must read Oregon State Treasury's Understanding IAP target-date funds and Member Choice document if you want to choose a different TDF for the next calendar year. You also can read the disclosure statement on Treasury's IAP investment information page.

  1. Use the Select TDF dropdown menu to choose a TDF for the upcoming calendar year.

  2. Review the 10 IAP target-date funds listed in the Select TDF dropdown menu. Select your new TDF.

  3. Before making your selection, you are required to read about the investment strategies, risks, and return characteristics of each TDF on Treasury's IAP website or read Treasury's Understanding IAP target-date funds and Member Choice disclosure statement.

  4. Confirm your Next Calendar Year IAP TDF is correct, and click Next.

 


Step Six

This will take you to the IAP TDF Election  Confirmation and Acceptance, in which you would click the box certifying that you have visited www.oregon.gov/IAP and accept the information. After checking the box, you would click the Submit button.

Before you check the acceptance box and click Submit:

  1. Read the acknowledgement statements.

  2. Confirm you have visited www.oregon.gov/IAP and read the Understanding IAP target-date funds and Member Choice document to understand the risk and return characteristics of your TDF.

  3. Confirm that the TDF you chose is shown in the You have selected … statement.

Important: Once you check the acceptance box and click Submit, your choice is irrevocable and cannot be canceled. You can only change your TDF once per calendar year. Your choice will remain in effect unless you make a new election during a subsequent year's election window.

  • Check the acceptance box and click Submit.



Note: If the acceptance box is not checked, an error message will appear.
