Important Details for Talen Energy Workers

Workers eligible for compensation do not need to file a claim but must complete a rollover form by July 1, 2024, if they want to transfer their payment into an existing retirement account. This option allows for tax-deferred rollovers into IRAs or employer-sponsored plans.

Those choosing to rollover will have their payment transferred electronically to their chosen financial institution or retirement plan. Alternatively, those opting not to rollover will receive a check directly. These options aim to provide flexibility in managing financial outcomes for affected individuals.
