The YWCA National 403(b) Plan from Mutual of America lets you supplement your retirement savings with pre-tax contributions.
Personal Savings and Retirement
For YWCA employees, retirement savings can be thought of as a three-legged stool: YWCA Retirement Fund pension, Social Security, and personal savings. Whatever gap remains between retirement needs and the first two sources of income must be made up by personal savings.
Optional Employee Contributions
The YWCA Retirement Fund is a cash balance defined benefit plan, and therefore prohibited by the U.S. Department of Labor from accepting pre-tax optional contributions from participants. However, Fund participants may choose to make optional after-tax contributions through monthly payroll deductions.
To offer YWCA employees the opportunity to make optional pre-tax contributions, with no eligibility requirements, Fund Management assisted YWCA USA in selecting Mutual of America (MoA) as provider of a national 403(b) program.
Mutual of America: 403(b)
The MoA National 403(b) Program allows YWCA employees to make both pre-tax and post-tax contributions to their retirement savings at no cost to associations.
