Supplemental Retirement Plans
All University of Arizona employees are eligible to participate in these
Supplemental Retirement plans. Starting a new contribution is as easy as opening
an account with your selected TSA and/or Deferred Compensation investment company,
and completing the University of Arizona Salary Reduction Agreement (SRA) form.
Changes to the contribution amount may be made at any time by submitting a
revised SRA form to Human Resources. When calculating your annual contribution
amount, remember that voluntary deductions, such as these, are only deducted from
the first two paychecks of each month.
Tax Sheltered Annuity (TSA)
