Training Helps You Plan for Retirement

PREP
Going to PREP gives you tools for retirement planning and points to sources for more in-depth financial and legal analysis of your personal finances. Our lineup of informative topics includes Pension System benefits, City of Dallas 401(k) and 457 plans, wills and estates, Social Security benefits, survivor benefits, health insurance, and retirement investing.

Financial Planning
In addition to PREP, the Pension System now offers a class in Financial Planning. Both PREP and Financial Planning training can be used for TCLEOSE (Texas Commission on Law Enforcement Officer Standards and Education) credit for Police Officers. The Financial Planning seminar differs from PREP in that it focuses on financial planning issues and presents this information in more detail.

You will learn how to calculate your net worth, review your income sources, and set new financial goals. You also will learn about various investment instruments, such as bonds, stocks, and mutual funds. You will learn how to read and interpret stock market information and other information to help you meet your investment goals. For post-retirement, you will learn about Medicare, Social Security benefits, long-term care, survivor benefits, and estate planning. Finally, you will be briefed on health insurance and life insurance issues.
