It’s never too late to start saving for retirement. At the Alamo Colleges District, most full- and part-time employees are eligible to participate in the 403(b) plan. Work-study, contract employees and school board members and/or trustees are ineligible to participate.
What is a 403(b)?
A 403(b) plan, also known as a tax-sheltered annuity (TSA) plan, is a retirement plan for certain employees of public schools and certain tax-exempt organizations. It allows you to make voluntary, federal income tax-deferred contributions into a qualified retirement savings account. Although elective contributions to 403(b) account defer your federal income tax liability, they do not reduce your Social Security and Medicare taxes.
