Contribution Guidelines

How You May Contribute

Employer Contribution – allows employers to contribute to your TSA over and above your salary.

Salary Reduction – allows you to contribute a certain amount of your salary towards your TSA. This reduces your taxable income by the amount of your contribution, saving you current tax dollars. The idea is that, since you are not actually receiving a portion of your salary now, you are also not taxed on it now. (Non-ordained employees do pay social security taxes on their salary reduction contributions.)

Non-deductible Employee Contribution – allows you to contribute after-tax dollars directly to your account.

How Much To Contribute

Employer contribution – When combined with the Salary Reduction contributions, the maximum contribution is the lesser of 100% of compensation (excluding housing allowance) or $46,000 (2008). It is the responsibility of the participant and their employer to ensure that contribution limits are not exceeded.

Salary Reduction contributions – cannot exceed $15,500 in 2008. When combined with employer-funded contributions, the maximum contribution is the lesser of 100% of compensation (excluding housing allowance). Participants who have attained age 50 may contribute an additional $5,000 (2008) above the normal limitation. It is the responsibility of the participant and their employer to ensure that contribution limits are not exceeded.

Nondeductible employee contributions – has no specific limit, but, when combined with other contributions, cannot exceed maximum allowable contributions.

How To Make Contributions

Enrollment – Before contributions can be submitted for an employee, they must enroll into the PCA Retirement Plan. Please do not send any contributions without first completing an enrollment application form and submitting that to the RBI office. When enrolled, a confirmation will be mailed and participants may begin submitting contributions.

Remittance Form – Very Important! Please submit a remittance form with every contribution to avoid processing delays.

Enclose Check – Make each check payable to the ‘PCA Retirement Plan’ and ensure the check totals match the remittance form totals to avoid processing delays.

Mail Check and Remittance Form – The treasurer or administrator should mail your contribution check and remittance form to:
