Enrollment

How do I join (enroll) in the Plan?

It’s easier than you may think. The Plan is a voluntary plan available to all employees of the City and County of Honolulu, including contracted employees as long as you work a minimum of 20 hours per week or 90 days per year.

Any eligible individual may elect to participate in the Plan and defer a portion of future compensation. To participate, you must agree to defer a minimum of $25.00 per pay period.

There are no minimum age or service requirements.

Please note that based on the Plan and IRS requirements, the earliest date your agreement to defer can be effective is the first pay period of the month following the date you complete the agreement. You can specify a later date if you choose.

There are two ways to enroll in the plan.

Local Office (Available to both Board of Water Supply and City and County Employees)

To enroll in the Plan, you will need to complete two forms and return them to our Honolulu Service Center:

  • A Participation Agreement that specifies the portion of compensation that you want to defer to the Plan each pay period.
  • An Enrollment Form that specifies your investment choices.
  • To obtain these enrollment forms, please contact our local office to make an appointment. A local Voya representative will assist you in the enrollment process.

Online Enrollment (Only available for City and County Employees)

  • Complete the easy 457(b) online enrollment process. While enrolling online, you will need to agree to online delivery of certain documents, including the “Participant Information Booklet,” investment fact sheets, and other documents we are required to provide at enrollment. If you would prefer to review a hard copy of these materials, please call our local office at (808) 597-8213, prior to enrollment.
