Welcome to the Northrop Grumman Savings Plan

Beginning January 1, 2009, you will begin participating in the Northrop Grumman Savings Plan and your Vinnell Corporation Savings Plan for Represented Employees (Principal Financial Group Plan) will be frozen - meaning contributions can no longer be made to the plan. Starting with your first paycheck in January 2009, you will be automatically enrolled in the Northrop Grumman Savings Plan at a contribution rate of 2% of your eligible pay. You may change your contribution rate or decline enrollment in the Northrop Grumman Savings Plan by logging on to My Benefits Access or calling the Northrop Grumman Benefits Center (NGBC) beginning November 10. If you do not decline enrollment by December 31, 2008, you will automatically be enrolled in the Plan. For more information, refer to the Automatic Enrollment/Default Investment Notice delivered to your home address.

If you need to enroll over the phone, please call the NGBC at 1-800-894-4194 (outside the U.S, call: 718-354-1338), Monday through Friday from 9:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. Eastern time, excluding holidays. If you are hearing impaired, you will need to use a relay service through your TTY/TDD service provider.
