Supplement Retirement Plans, (called SRA’s), allow you to save extra money for retirement over and above any contributions you may make to an employer-mandated retirement plan. Contributions are pre-tax and must be made through payroll deduction. All non-student employees who receive paychecks through UM payroll are eligible to contribute to The University of Montana’s 403(b) or 457(b) SRA’s. There are currently six tax sheltered SRA options available.

Select a question link below and get precise answers concerning Supplemental Retirement Accounts.

  • How much can employees contribute to SRAs?
  • What do you have to do to start 403(b) Plan contributions?
