When can I join?
You can join the plan immediately after you’ve completed 90 consecutive days of service.
For Example:
If you start January 2nd, you will complete 90 days of service on April 3rd and will be enrolled on April 4th.
Does my employer contribute?
Diamondback contributes $1.00 for every $1.00 you save, up to a 3% and $0.50 for every $1.00 for the next 2%. To receive the employer contribution, you must contribute – even if it is a small amount.
Don’t Give Away Free Money
To maximize your benefit, aim to save 6%. You are 100% Vested on employee & employer contributions from day one.

What if I need advice?

What if I need to take money out?
Saving in a retirement plan is, of course, intended to be a long-term investment for you. In the event of an emergency, the plan does allow for Hardship Distributions.
Schedule 1-on-1 Session Now to discuss your situation.
What if I change jobs?
Don’t Worry, you don’t lose the savings that you contributed.
Your employer may have rules about how much of their employer contributions you get to keep.
You can transfer your savings to another plan, a personal IRA or, as a last resort, you can cash out.

Should I designate beneficiaries?
In the event of your passing, your savings will transfer into the ownership of your named beneficiaries.
Make sure your named beneficiaries remain up-to-date! The most common reasons to make changes are due to marriage, divorce or having children.
Visit Principal to view and update your beneficiaries.
Cybersecurity: How do I protect my account?
Take the following steps to help protect your account:
- Set up your online access and log on frequently.
- Use a strong username & password.
- Keep your contact information up to date.
- Enable Multi-Factor authentication.
- Use current anti-virus protection on all your devices.
Visit Principal for details on their Cybersecurity policy.
