Retiring from CF

What to expect upon retiring.

Preparing to Retire

Congratulations on preparing for your golden years! Here are the key steps to take before you retire:

  • 30–90 days before your planned retirement date:
    • Notify your supervisor and Human Resources representative.
    • Contact the CF Industries Pension Center at 866-234-9977 to begin the retirement process and request your retirement application.
      • For example, if you want to begin your retirement benefits on June 1, you must request your retirement application materials by May 1. If timing delays occur, you will be eligible for pension benefits paid retroactively to your retirement effective date.
  • The 401(k) Plan offers a variety of distribution options when you retire. To apply for a distribution, log in to netbenefits.com or call Fidelity​ at 800-835-5095.
