All Oceanside Unified School District employees can participate in the Retirement Savings Program, regardless of their health insurance eligibility.
Plan Options
403(b) & 457(b) Plans
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 Money used to invest in the plan is not taxed until the funds are withdrawn.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.
Roth 403(b)
Enables savings for a portion of the employee's income on an after-tax basis for a retirement account.
