Optional Retirement Plans
All non-benefits eligible employees (part-time and temporary) are eligible to participate in an unmatched 403(b) on a voluntary basis. You will not receive any employer contributions to your retirement plan but you can make voluntary unmatched contributions. You may select TIAA-CREF and/or Fidelity Investments for your retirement plan options. Please complete the ORP forms.
Within the IRS limits, you may enroll, end, increase, decrease or suspend your contributions at any time. Contact the Human Resources Department for additional information or assistance.
