Designate a beneficiary: Your beneficiary will inherit your account in the event of your death. You should consider identifying one or more beneficiaries when you enroll in your Plan, and updating the information if you experience a life-changing event such as a marriage, divorce, birth of a child, or death in the family. You can elect your beneficiaries through Fidelity NetBenefits^® once you log on to your account.

When you are "vested" in your savings, it effectively means the money is yours to keep. You are always 100% vested in all contributions you make to your Plan, as well as any earnings on them. Visit https://hr.duke.edu/vesting for employer vesting information.

You are generally allowed to withdraw money from your Plan when you leave your employer, retire or become permanently disabled. Also you may be eligible for a distribution if you have a financial hardship as defined by your Plan. Withdrawals may be subject to income taxes and, if they occur prior to you becoming age 59½, a 10% early withdrawal tax penalty.
