403B Availability

The Opportunity

You have the opportunity to save for retirement by participating in your Employer’s 403(b) retirement plan. The 403(b) plan is a retirement plan for certain employees of public schools, tax-exempt organizations and ministries.

We recommend that all employees visit our education page.

Why save with 403(b)?

• You do not pay income on allowable contributions until you begin making withdrawals from the plan, usually after your retirement.
• Investment gains in the plan are not taxed until distribution.
• Generally, retirement assets can be carried from one employer to another.

Future retirement savings value assuming 6% growth

How can I participate?

Prior to contributing you must open an account with an investment provider authorized in the Plan, a list of which is available below.

Complete a Salary Reduction Agreement (SRA) online. 

If you are already contributing to your Employer’s Plan and you want to change your contribution amount or investment provider, simply complete and submit a new SRA. You can begin or change your contributions as soon as your next payment cycle following our receipt of a complete SRA.

How much can I contribute annually?

In 2023 you may contribute up to $22,500 if you are 49 years of age and below, and up to $30,000 if you are 50 years of age and over. You may also be entitled to additional catch-up provisions like the 15 Year Service Catch-up.
