What is the Plan Number for the Dodgers 401(k) plan?

You may need this for mobile app setup or when calling participant services. Please refer to your enrollment kit or contact your POP department to confirm the specific 9-digit plan number.
-
How do I change my contribution amount?
-
You can adjust your contribution rate at any time by logging into your account at www.securitybenefit.com/dodgers.
Go to My Account and select Contributions to increase or decrease the amount of your pay deferred into the plan.
Changes typically take 1–2 payroll cycles to reflect on your paycheck. If you are age 50+ and want to make catch-up contributions, please contact People Operations at [email protected] to set this up.
-
What are the 401(k) contribution limits for this year?
-
Security Benefit publishes an annual tax guide in our online Tax Center. All standard limits, catch-up contribution limits, and more are included for you.
-
How do I choose or change my investment elections?
-
Once logged in, go to My Account and select My Portfolio.
From there, you can view your current fund lineup, research fund performance, and move money between existing investments or change how future contributions are allocated.
If you would like to speak to someone about your investment choices, please contact the investment advisor for your plan, Travis Johnson, at [email protected] or by phone at 312.736.9968.
-
Does the plan offer Roth (after-tax) contributions?
-
Yes, the plan allows for both Traditional (pre-tax) and Roth (after-tax) contributions. Roth contributions are made with money that has already been taxed, allowing for potentially tax-free withdrawals in retirement.
-
Can I take a loan from my 401(k) account?
-
Most participants are eligible to take a loan of up to 50% of their vested balance (minimum and maximum limits apply, typically capped at $50,000). Loans must be repaid through payroll deduction with interest, which is paid back into your own account. The plan limits participants to two active loans at one time.
-
What is a Hardship Withdrawal?
-
A hardship withdrawal is a distribution made for an "immediate and heavy financial need," such as medical expenses, preventing eviction, or post-secondary tuition. Unlike a loan, these cannot be paid back and may be subject to income tax and a 10% early withdrawal penalty if you are under age 59½.
-
How do I add or update my beneficiaries?
-
Log in to your account, navigate to Profile and select Beneficiaries.
You will need the names and dates of birth for the individuals you wish to name.
Beneficiaries are not required to be U.S. residents.
