Monroe County, Rochester, N.Y., hired Hartford Financial Services Group as bundled provider for its $95 million 457 plan, said Liz Riley, director of human resources. Hartford replaces Nationwide Insurance, which had been the plan’s provider since 1986 but was outbid, she said. New York state law requires competitive bidding for providers every five years. Hartford will offer 31 investment options in addition to handling record keeping, administration and education.
