Retirement for Public School & College Employees
Retirement for Public School & College Employees
Teachers and other professionals who work in the education field experience different financial planning options and complexities than other career paths. After making a difference in the lives of students for years, you deserve to relax and enjoy retirement.
If you are a school-district employee, there are multiple retirement plan options to consider. You can contribute to a 403(b) plan, a 457(b) plan, or both. To learn more or enroll in a plan please visit our dedicated website.
Making pre-tax contributions can lower your taxable income and may reduce your current income tax. If your plan permits, you may also make after-tax contributions to a Roth account. Either way, taxes on your earnings from your account are deferred until withdrawn. Withdrawals from a Roth account are potentially tax-free if certain conditions are met.
From saving for retirement to protecting your assets, our dedicated team of professionals can help you build a financial plan that takes into account your short- and long-term goals.
Key Benefits of 403(b) and 457(b) Retirement Accounts:
