Retirement Saving Opportunity - The 403(b) Plan

Clatsop Behavioral Healthcare (“Employer”) offers an excellent program through which you may elect to contribute a portion of income into retirement savings accounts. Your Employer’s retirement savings program is offered under Section 403(b) of the Internal Revenue Code and is called the Tax-Sheltered Annuity Plan.

Eligibility to Participate

All part-time and full-time employees are eligible to contribute to the 403(b) Plan.

You may begin making elective deferrals in the 403(b) Plan at any time by first establishing an investment account with an approved vendor, and then completing a salary reduction agreement, signing it, and submitting it to your payroll office.

Contribution Limits for 2024

The basic elective deferral limit for 2024 is the lesser of $23,000.00 or 100% of your compensation.

If your 50th birth date occurs on or before December 31, 2024, you are eligible to defer an additional $7,500.00, provided your compensation is large enough to allow the extra deferral.
