(k)ickstart™ your retirement

(k)ickstart™ is Human Interest’s program to encourage positive retirement savings behavior. The program is available to anyone in an employer-sponsored 401(k) or 403(b) provided by Human Interest Inc. The program is designed especially for first-time savers and includes educational tools like (k)ickstart™ classroom, a 10-part series of financial wellness videos, resources, and more. In addition to education, the program includes our 3% cash back incentive: a gift card worth 3% of payroll contributions up to $250 made by eligible participants during a 12-month saving stint. Limitations apply. See terms.

3% cash back is a financial incentive designed to encourage people to save for retirement. It’s a key component of our (k)ickstart™ program. To qualify, a participant must earn $60,000 or less per year. Qualifying participants will receive 3% cash back on their payroll contributions during the  12-month saving period. We know 3% is not the same for everyone, so we are offering a minimum cash back award of $100 and a max of $250. You’ll receive your award in the form of a gift card via email. See full eligibility requirements and other terms.

This offer is available to employees who are enrolled in a 401(k) or 403(b) plan administered by Human Interest Inc. and making $60,000 or less in gross income over the 12-month qualifying saving period.

To qualify for 3% cash back, you will also need to make sure you’ve completed onboarding with your plan in your account Dashboard and deferring at least 8% of your pay during the entire 12-month qualifying saving period.

After saving for 12 months, don’t forget to claim your award by submitting your claim form! The form must be submitted within 6 months of completing your 12-month saving period to claim your award. Make sure to enroll soon – the 3% cash back program enrollment window starts on June 1, 2023 and ends on January 1, 2024. See full terms.

No, so long as you contribute 8% of your compensation during a 12-month period on each paycheck. The contributions can be made on a traditional and/or Roth basis.

To make it easier, we’ll track your contribution rate for you. You’ll just need to fill out a form at the end of your 12-month contribution period to request your gift card.

The truth is that most of us aren’t saving enough to have a financially secure retirement. Saving less just won’t get you there. If it feels like a lot, know that we have retirement savers with Human Interest who are already contributing at least 8% per paycheck.

You’re still eligible to receive a (k)ickstart™ from Human Interest provided you meet the eligibility requirements described in the terms and conditions. Confirm your contribution rate is set at 8% by setting up your account, logging in, and viewing the contribution section.

A Visa®, Mastercard® or similar gift card or prepaid debit card. We may expand support for additional popular gift card retailers in the future.

Gift cards are emailed to recipients after they meet the conditions applicable to this offer. The earliest date participants can qualify to receive a gift card is 6/1/24 (12 months after the program launch date of 6/1/23).

We’re taking advantage of a new provision passed as part of SECURE Act 2.0 Section 113. This provision allows small financial incentives to be given to employees to encourage them to sign up and participate in their 401(k).

We can help! If you are in the position to set up a 401(k) for your company, talk to our team. If you are not, send an email to your business owner or HR team.
