Voluntary Retirement Savings

The most common reason employees give for not investing or planning for their future is that they do not have any available money. What they fail to realize is that the financial planning process may actually identify ways to free up funds to meet defined goals and objectives. A great way to start this process is to contact one of the Board approved investment companies to schedule an appointment with a representative.

All regularly scheduled employees are eligible to contribute to a 403(b), 457(b) and/or Roth 403(b) plan through payroll deductions. If you participate in a voluntary retirement savings plan, you are fully vested in your contributions and earnings at all times. Once you are ready to establish a 403(b), 457(b) and/or Roth 403(b) account, you should research the authorized investment provider companies and investment products available to you. Choose an investment product(s) that is suitable to help you meet your retirement goals and contact an Investment Provider Representative to open an account. You many only choose from the list of investment provider companies approved the Pasco County Schools.
