Because this is what blogs are for, right? The TIAA-CREF form for the Keogh electronic delivery (why exactly should I save them money? Did they reduce their service fees?) asks, towards the end, for this: adopting employer as primary authorizer (print). Let me read it again: adopting employer as primary authorizer (print). Is that me? The university? Not to worry. Boldly printed just below: call us at the Administrator Telephone Center at 888 842 7782 for questions. This is right after a warning that, should you try to save us money by filling out this form, but you do not fill it out completely, this will “delay processing”! Well I called. And… no answer? What corporation has a telephone that… nobody answers? A home, sure. They are at work. But a telephone number sent to hundreds of thousands of people… I’m the only one who called? “Jerry!!! Phone’s ringing!!!! Aw, must be a wrong number, let it go…” So now what do I do? I mean, now that the blog entry is finished.
