Benefits?

403b and Retirement Savings Plan

403b: You are automatically enrolled at a 3% pre-tax contribution rate after 90 days in an eligible status. If you are a transfer and already participate in the 403b Plan, there will be no change

in your contribution rate.

You can enroll before 90 days (even immediately) and you can increase your contribution rate up to the maximum IRS limit or you can decrease your contribution rate to less than 3% (even to 0).

Med Center Health will match your 403b contributions at 50% up to 6% in the Retirement Savings Plan (RSP).

Med Center Health will also make an annual service-based contribution to RSP based on the following schedule:

10

< 5 yrs. = 1% of pay 5 – 9 yrs. = 2% of pay

10 – 14 yrs. = 3% of pay 15 – 19 yrs. = 4%

20 or more years – 5% of pay

You are immediately vested in your contributions and you are 100% vested on the Med Center Health contributions after 3 years.

When you retire, you may elect to receive the full value of your benefit in either a lump sum or in periodic installments.

An information packet from BB&T will be mailed to your home address within 30 days of your automatic enrollment date. This packet will contain your username and password.

You use your username and password to manage your account on-line through the BB&T website (known as Plantrac).

Change your investment elections

Change your contribution percentage

You will need to complete and submit a Beneficiary Designation form for both plans. You can obtain the form in Citrix/HR_Payroll/HR Library/Benefit Plans/403b and RSP.
