As previously reported on our website in March 2022, Empower Retirement acquired Prudential Retirement in early 2022. In February 
2024, Empower will be completely upgrading and integrating Prudential accounts into the Empower system.
This change will not affect your individual Annuity Account under The New York City District Council of Carpenters Annuity Fund.
Some highlights of the Empower experience include:
Automatic Account Transfer – Your retirement account and current investments will automatically transfer to the new Empower experience.
New Website – You will be able to manage your retirement account with the help of enhanced planning features and tools.
New App – The Empower app is available for iOS and Android environments for on-the-go access to your retirement account.
Expanded Call Center Hours – Empower Customer Care Center representatives are available with additional weekday hours and new Saturday hours.
