TIAA: Additional Retirement plans, Financial Counseling, and Live Financial Webinars

Any non-student employee (including non-benefited employees) can choose to contribute to any supplemental retirement savings account available through TIAA as long as he/she is receiving a salary from BYU. Contributions are made through payroll deductions. BYU does not make any matching contributions to these accounts.

TIAA 403(b)

  • Contributions are before tax; you are not taxed until it is withdrawn.
  • Earnings are tax-deferred; you are not taxed until it is withdrawn.
  • Contribution percentage may be changed at any time. You may also elect a fractional percentage for your contributions (not available in the DMBA 401(k)). Visit the Benefits Office to complete and sign a form.

You may only withdraw funds prior to age 59½ for the following reasons:

  • Death
  • Disability
  • Early Retirement (age 55+)
  • Termination
  • Financial hardship

Funds that you withdraw prior to age 59½ are subject to federal and state income taxes. Tax laws require a mandatory 20% withholding. Also, an additional tax penalty equal to 10% of the taxable portion of your withdrawal will be imposed.

The annual contribution deferral limit for 2023 is $22,500. Employees age 50 or older may contribute an additional $7,500 (up to $30,000 total). However, any contributions to a 401(k) also count toward this limit.

There are many investment options to choose from. Please visit the Benefits Office for plan materials which include a list of all available investment options.
