Beginning Feb. 24, 2026, the communications preference for registered portal users will automatically default to  “Electronic”. 

 What does this change mean for you?

 It means the  default method of communication will automatically be set to “Electronic” in the portal and that you will be receiving all communications from the Fund to the email of record in your account.  If your "Preferred Communication Method" is already selected in the portal, it will remain unchanged.

 We encourage you to sign into the portal to confirm your email address associated with your record, and/or update your contact information as necessary.

To verify your information in the portal before the effective date, you can:

• Sign into your portal account.
• Go to  My Profile  > Contact Information, scroll down to > Communications Email to verify that the email address listed as your contact email is correct and valid.
• If the email address is incorrect— you can update it directly in the portal by going to Contact Information and selecting Edit in the upper-right corner of this section.

• Once you update your information, be sure to > click Save to record your changes.  

If your information is accurate and you are okay with receiving all Fund communications via this email address, you do not need to do anything in your portal account. 

If paperless isn’t an option for you at this time, you can opt out of the “Electronic” communications preference. To do that: 

• Sign into your portal account
• Go to My Profile > Contact Information  and select Edit in the upper-right corner of this section.  Scroll down to Preferred communications Method and use the arrow down to select Mail. Then > click Save to save your changes.
• Once you make this change, your communications preferences will change to “Mail” and you will start to receive all communications to the verified mailing address on record, via USPS.

• While you’re in the editable Contact Information section,  review your mailing address to confirm that it is correct. This will ensure that you receive communications from the Fund without any issues.
