UF at Work

Explore ways to enhance your retirement savings   

With tax season upon us, now is a great time to review your voluntary savings plans to ensure you’re optimizing your contributions. In addition to the mandatory state retirement plans, you may participate in voluntary Fidelity 403(b) and 457(b) Florida Deferred Compensation plans to supplement your retirement income via payroll deductions. These plans are open to all UF employees and have no employer contribution. They also accept rollovers from other retirement plans.   

Read on for a breakdown of each plan, or watch a video highlighting the differences between the plans and how to effectively save for retirement.
