KEY INFORMATION TO CONSIDER

„„We’ll send the withdrawal amount after we receive your completed forms. The completed forms must be in good order. To avoid delays, be sure to complete all sections.

„„Prior to taking a hardship withdrawal, you must obtain all other currently available distributions under the plan and all other plans of deferred compensation, whether qualified or nonqualified, maintained by your employer. Your employer’s plan may also require you to first obtain all nontaxable loans available under the plan and all other plans maintained by the employer. Any cash distribution taken prior to a hardship withdrawal will be taxed at a federal tax withholding rate of 20% and, if applicable, state withholding will apply. Please consult your plan administrator if you have any questions regarding these requirements.

„„Internal Revenue Service (IRS) regulations governing withdrawals due to hardship provide that:

-Withdrawals due to hardship are not eligible to be rolled over, and

-They may be subject to optional income tax withholding. The default tax withholding is 10%.

„„State income tax withholding may be required from your distribution. If state withholding is mandatory, we will withhold at the rate required by your state. Please note: The state may allow you to elect not to have withholding applied, to choose additional withholding, or to specify the rate of withholding. For more information on state tax withholding, go to TIAA.org/public/tax-withholding. Call TIAA at 800-842-2252 if you have any questions.

„„A hardship withdrawal from your TIAA Traditional Annuity within Retirement Annuity (RA), Group Retirement Annuity (GRA) and Retirement Choice (RC) contracts is not available.
