USA Health Care Authority
457(b) Deferred Compensation-Matching Retirement Plan/401(a) Combination Plan
The USA Health Care Authority provides a deferred compensation plan which enables
employees to use pre-tax income to contribute to their retirement. Participation is
voluntary. The plan currently matches employee contributions dollar for dollar up
to 5% of salary. These plans allow eligible employees to invest in fixed and variable
annuities and mutual funds in tax-deferred accounts. The employer matched funds are
invested in the 401(a) Combination Plan.
Eligible employees will be fully vested in the employer matching contributions when
completing 3 years of service. A year of service for vesting purposes, as a vesting
computation period (Plan Year), is when an employee completes 1,000 hours of service
(the 3 years of service need not be consecutive).
Employees may reduce their state and federal taxable income by contributing up to
$23,000 ($30,500 if over age 50) annually.
