Benefits of Joining
Multiple Employer Plan
The CSI 403(b) Plan is a single program, multiple employer plan (MEP). The Plan’s design creates a powerful economy of scale with a single administrative structure and a very favorable negotiated fee structure.
Managed by National Service Provider Experts
TIAA, TAG Resources, and CBIZ Retirement Services have been selected to administer the Plan. These service providers will relieve schools of many of the responsibilities they would have with their own newly formed 403(b) or 401(k) plan.
Fewer Risks
Once a participating school’s money is contributed, TAG and CBIZ will be responsible for complying with a wide array of federal rules for retirement plans, so participating schools will not have to shoulder the same types of responsibilities they would have with their own, stand-alone 403(b) or 401(k) plan.
Ongoing Support from Service Providers
The Plan’s service providers (TIAA, TAG, and CBIZ) will provide a high level of service, including regular and comprehensive communications, participant education, and dedicated representatives to be available for questions and problem solving.
Fee Reductions
The annual participant fee for TIAA and TAG to administer the Plan is reduced based on levels of participation. The cost per participant will be reduced as more participants join.
Flexible Options
Despite the creation of a single program, the Plan will provide key areas of plan design flexibility, including employer contributions, vesting of employer money, and the availability of loans to participants.
