Supplemental Retirement Programs

You may participate in a Supplemental Retirement Plan and put money away for your retirement in addition to the 6 percent you may be required to contribute to either TSERS or the ORP. There are three types of plans available. They are:

• A 401(k) plan administered by Prudential and sponsored by the State of North Carolina and governed by the Department of the State Treasurer.
• A 403(b) plan administered and sponsored by the University.  The University has contracted with seven vendors to participate in the program.
• A 457 deferred compensation plan administered by Great West and sponsored by the State of North Carolina and governed by the Department of the State Treasurer.

You can elect to participate in the 401(k), a 403(b) and the 457 at the same time; however, there are limits to the amount you can contribute.
