Brigham Young University - Idaho

TIAA-CREF

BYU-Idaho offers employees a 403(b) tax-deferred annuity plan through TIAA-CREF. This plan is supplemental to DMBA's 401(k) Supplemental Retirement Savings Plan (i.e. Thrift Plan); and the university does not "match" employee contributions to the TIAA-CREF program. All employees, including those in full-time, part-time, and temporary jobs, are eligible to participate in the TIAA-CREF plan, except those who fit the following definitions:

       •  Student employees 
       •  Employees who normally work fewer than 20 hours per week
           and less than 1,000 hours per year, unless they worked at
           least 1,000 hours in any prior year
       •  Employees who are non-resident aliens not receiving United
           States sourced income (no employees currently fit this definition). 

Included here is a Summary Plan Description to help employees understand how this plan is designed.

For more information or to enroll, please go to the TIAA-CREF homepage on the internet.
