About the Co-op 401(k) Plan
The Co-op 401(k) Plan is a one-of-a-kind solution for cooperatives across America looking for a quality retirement plan to attract and retain employees. By pooling assets and resources, cooperatives with as few as five employees to cooperatives with several hundred employees can share in the same great features of the Co-op 401(k) Plan. These include a call center staffed with knowledgeable customer service representatives; a telephone hotline and Web service center available for inquiries and transactions 24 hours a day, seven days a week; professionally managed accounts; newsletters written specifically for the cooperative audience; and our Participant PlanFolders to help keep employees organized and on top of their retirement planning.

Administered by Milliman
The Co-op 401(k) Plan is administered by Milliman, a firm of consultants and actuaries with more than 50 years of experience in the employee benefits industry. Milliman has administered the Co-op 401(k) Plan since 1995, consolidating the grain cooperatives of the Midwest with the cotton gins of the South and the dairy operations of the East under one dynamic plan. Since Milliman was hired as administrator of the Plan, it has grown from 300 cooperatives in 13 states to more than 440 cooperatives in 26 states and from 5,000 participants to more than 12,000 participants. Together, we have helped thousands on their journey to a comfortable retirement, and we welcome new members into the Co-op 401(k) Plan family every day.
