Roth 403(b) Tax-Sheltered Plan

A Roth 403(b) is a Tax-Sheltered Plan that allows employees of educational institutions and certain tax-exempt organizations to save post-tax dollars for retirement. A Roth 403(b) works much like a Roth 401(k) and can offer another way to save for retirement.

The RBFCU Retirement Program is available to employees in school districts and certain tax-exempt organizations within the state of Texas. With our financial advisors, you can create a plan you’ll feel confident about.


What you should know about a Roth 403(b):

Tax form and calculator

Taxes

Contributions are made to your Roth 403(b) after taxes are taken from your paycheck, allowing your earnings to grow — and withdrawals to be taken — tax-free if the account has been open for at least five years and you are age 59½ or older. Roth 403(b) money is subject to required minimum distribution rules.

Hand withdrawing money

Withdrawals

You may make a withdrawal from your Roth 403(b) at age 59½, upon severance from employment, or in the case of hardship, disability or death. Penalties may apply to withdrawals taken before allowable age.

Hand giving money

Loans

If plan allows, a loan may be taken against your Roth 403(b) funds regardless of your employment status. Repayment terms and interest rates are determined by your investment provider. Certain rules may apply.
