Retirement

The WVURC 403(b) Retirement Plan

  • The WVURC 403(b) retirement plan is provided through TIAA. 
  • Benefits are based solely on the amount of plan contributions to the participant’s accumulation account and earnings, if any.
  • Full-time employees are required to contribute 3% of their earnings to the group retirement plan, which is matched by the WVURC.
  • Employees have the option of contributing an additional 1-3% of their earnings to the plan, which is also matched by the WVURC.
  • In addition, and within regulatory parameters, WVURC employees may voluntarily contribute additional monies toward their retirement, which is not matched by the WVURC.
  • Employees are fully vested from their first contribution
  • TIAA does not accept PO Boxes or Rural Routes.
  • Part-time employees have the option of contributing to the retirement plan, without an employer match by the WVURC.
