All Oceanside Unified School District employees can participate in the Retirement Savings Program, regardless of their health insurance eligibility.
Tax-deferred retirement plans provided for employees of certain tax-exempt governmental organizations or public education institutes. Money used to invest in the plan is not taxed until the funds are withdrawn. The compounding interest on the TSA plan allows for the account to grow quicker than money saved in a taxable account where interest and earnings are taxed each year.
Enables savings for a portion of the employee's income on an after-tax basis for a retirement account.
To enroll in a Tax-Sheltered Annuity (TSA) plan authorized for payroll contributions, you must choose a vendor approved by the San Diego County Office of Education's Fringe Benefits Consortium to set up an account.
After you have an account established, complete an SRA online through the County's Third-Party Administrator website, pa.schoolsfirstfcu.org, to begin contributions.
For any questions regarding deferral limits, maximum contributions, Salary Reduction Agreement processing, or account access, please contact SchoolsFirst.
Deferral Limit
Please refer to the SchoolsFirst FCU website for the calendar year's standard maximum deferral limit for each plan.
There are additional provisions that may allow employees to contribute more than the standard maximum deferral amount.
