RETIREMENT BENEFITS
Tax Sheltered Annuities 403(b)
OVSD also offers an optional deferred program for employees which meets the requirements of section 403(b) of the Internal Revenue Service code. Under this plan, employees can set aside certain amounts of money each pay period. The employee does not pay income tax on this amount until it is withdrawn. Interest earned on these funds is also not taxed until withdrawal. Certain withdrawal restrictions apply. Generally, these funds may not be withdrawn until the employee attains age 59 1/2.
