Retirement Savings Program Fair

Human Resources is hosting a Retirement Savings Program Fair on Thursday, May 14 from 11:00 to 1:30 in ENG 285/287. This is your opportunity to connect with the Tax Sheltered Annuity providers.
The CSU 403(b) Tax Sheltered Annuity (TSA) Program is a voluntary program that allows eligible CSU employees to save toward retirement by investing pre-tax contributions in tax-deferred investments in either annuities or mutual funds. There are five TSA providers: Valic, Fidelity Investments, Voya (formerly ING Life and Annuity), MetLife, and TIAA-Cref.
It’s never too early to start planning for your retirement! Learn about your options, ask questions, and set up a one on one appointment with your provider.
