7 SECTION 125 / CAFETERIA PLAN WHAT IS A CAFETERIA PLAN? Cafeteria plans, also known as Section 125 plans (the IRS code that covers them), and flexible spending plans allow you to deduct certain amounts for benefits from your gross earnings before federal withholding taxes are figured. Similar to a cafeteria where individuals select their food of choice, employees may choose benefits of their choice. These plans become more useful as diversity within our workforce continues to grow. For example, the benefit needs of young families may differ greatly from those of a single person. RULES REGARDING THE Iowa Park CISD SECTION 125 / CAFETERIA PLAN: All employees must sign their Benefits Election Form every plan year, regardless of whether they are making changes or carry NO benefits. This may be done on-line or by visiting with a benefits agent. Benefits elections will remain in effect for the plan year and cannot be revoked or changed unless one of the following family status changes: Marriage Divorce Birth Adoption Death Termination or change in spouse s employment Change in eligibility status of a dependent It is also possible to change you medical coverage if there is a substantial increase in the premium and you have like coverage elsewhere. 4

45 403B/457 Investment Information WHAT IS A 403(B) AND/OR A 457 PLAN? A 403(b) plan is a retirement savings plan available for public education organizations. It has tax treatment similar to a 401(k) plan. Employee salary deferrals into a 403(b) plan are made before income tax is paid and allowed to grow tax-deferred until the money is taxed as income when withdrawn from the plan. 403(b) plans are also referred to as a taxsheltered annuity. The 457 plan is a type of deferredcompensation retirement plan that is available for governmental employers. The employer provides the plan and the employee defers compensation into it on a pre-tax basis. For the most part the plan operates similarly to a 401(k) or 403(b) plan most people are familiar with. The key difference is that there is no penalty for withdrawal before the age of 59½ (but subject to income tax). WHY DO I NEED MORE THAN TRS RETIREMENT? Your contributions to these accounts can be payroll deducted on a pre-tax basis allowing your taxable income to be lower based on your contribution. Each of these accounts offer fixed and variable investment options for you to select from. A fixed investment sets your rate of return and remains consistent throughout your investing years. A variable investment allows for some volatility, meaning that when the market is up, your investment should be on the increase; when the market is down, your investment is likely to go down. Since each type of account comes with different tax rules, you will want to be sure you are aware of the difference with them. Ultimately TRS is not going to provide you with the income or lifestyle you are used to having during your working years. Consider one of these options to help close that shortfall. You have other options to help close the gap between your current income and what your retirement income will be. The 3 main options include but are not limited to a: 403(b) - Tax Sheltered Annuity 403(b)(7) - Mutual Fund Deferred Compensation Plan The OMNI Group (877)
