**District Name**

Welcome to TCG!
Onboarding is as easy as…

First, paperwork!

A board resolution and interlocal agreement are the first documents to get the process in motion. TCG will then provide a templated termination letter for the district to send to the current plan admin.

Process Planning

We’ll meet to discuss takeover procedures and payroll specifications, get District signatures on the Adoption Agreement, plan staff communications, and get the census file from your team.

Spread the Word

We’ll get initial data files from your previous plan administrator and notify current plan participants about upcoming changes.

Payroll Changeover

You’ll provide us with a test payroll file per specs determined in our planning meeting, and your previous administrator will process one final payroll submission.

Wait for It…

Payroll contributions to the previous plan will cease and changes or distributions for participant accounts will be frozen until the previous plan admin transfers all assets to TCG and provides final data files.

GO for New Plan!

Employees will be able to view their accounts and submit distribution requests via the TCG site. You’ll send your first payroll file and funds to us for processing, and we’ll adjust the admin process as needed.
