Employees pay no taxes on their contribution and no taxes on earning until it is received as income.
To participate in an SRA, you must complete all necessary paperwork no later than the last working day of the month prior to the month in which you wish to start contributions.
Within the IRS limits you may enroll, end, increase, decrease, or suspend your contributions at any time
TIAA-CREF and/or VALIC offer participation in the SRA. For more information, please contact Personnel or Payroll.
