District Retirement Accounts
NEISD Retirement Plans include tax-sheltered accounts. A tax-sheltered account is a supplemental retirement plan that lets you save money on a pre-taxed basis while deferring income and earnings until you retire.
NEISD offers three plan types: 457(b), 457(b) Roth, and 403(b).
The 457(b) and 403(b) plans are similar in nature these are pre-tax options, the 457(b) Roth is an aftertax option.
You may select either one or all three. You can also start any of these investments at anytime during the year, no need to wait for Open Enrollment.
