How can I print information with NetBenefits?
Simply click your mouse once anywhere on the area that you want to print (don’t highlight the text, just click once). This will select the frame. Go to File and Print; do not use the print icon. If you are given the option, choose "Only the selected frame."
If this does not work, you can print the information using a ‘Print-Screen’ function. A ‘print-screen’ will capture all of the information displayed on your monitor, including any icons or applications visible outside of the browser. To do this:
Maximize your browser so it fills your screen and display the information you would like to print.
Press the ‘Print-Screen’ key located at the top of your keyboard (usually to the right of the function keys). Mac users without a ‘Print-Screen’ key can press Shift+Apple+3 to capture the screen.
Open a Word document and point your cursor to where you would like the information to be displayed. Go to Edit and Paste. You can then send the document to your printer.

Why do I have trouble logging on from work?
You may be behind a corporate firewall at work. The firewall serves to enforce security policy on your network. Commonly, administrators restrict encrypted information, like your Fidelity account information, from entering networks. Verify whether you are subject to such restrictions by contacting your network administrator.

Why does resizing my browser sometimes cause the page to go blank?
The images and content seen in an encrypted NetBenefits session are not typically cached (saved) by your browser. Resizing the screen while these images are loading may in some cases upset your session with NetBenefits and cause the browser to deliver a blank page. If this happens, completely close your browser (which will log you out of NetBenefits), restart your browser, and log back in.
