Retirement Benefits

Mandatory Retirement Plan – The University requires all employees to contribute 8% of your salary towards your requirement plan.  Employees may choose one of four retirement vendors: PERA (you must have already been in PERA for one year to enroll), TIAACREF, Citistreet, or VALIC.  The University contributes 11.5% of your salary to TIAACREF, Citistreet, or VALIC which are all 401(a) retirement plans and 10.15% to PERA, which is a defined benefit plan.  The retirement plans are in lieu of Social Security, which is not an option here.

Supplemental Retirement Plans – Employees may also elect to contribute additional retirement funds through payroll deductions by enrolling in a 403(b) or 457 plan.  These deductions are tax deferred income. A list of providers can be found here.
