# Request a payout-election change

> Ask your plan administrator to review a change to a scheduled payout year.

Open [your employer's plan](/members/deferred-compensation/view-your-plan) and look for **Payout elections**. This section appears for awards with an applicable scheduled payout election. The actions available depend on the award and its change window.

## Send a request

1. Find the award under **Payout elections** and check its currently scheduled year.
2. Select **Request a change**, if available.
3. In **Request a payout change**, enter a four-digit **New payout year**. Use the minimum year shown below the field.
4. Add a **Note for your administrator (optional)** if needed.
5. Select **Send request**.

After a successful submission, the award shows **Change requested** with the requested year and **Awaiting administrator review**. Your plan administrator reviews your request before any change is applied. Sending a request does not itself change the scheduled payout or trigger a payment.

## If the option is unavailable

* **Awaiting administrator review** means a request is already open. Ask your administrator about that request.
* **Change window closed** means the displayed deadline has passed.
* If **Payout elections** or **Request a change** is absent, ask your administrator which options apply to your award.

If submission fails, read the error and correct any indicated information. For a technical problem, [contact support](/contact-support).

To update the people listed as beneficiaries, use **Beneficiaries** on the same dashboard and follow [Manage beneficiaries](/members/manage-beneficiaries).
