TAX SHELTERED ANNUITY (TSA) PROVIDER COMPANIES

USF offers to our employees the opportunity to participate in tax sheltered annuities (TSA's). The maximum contribution rates and other provisions are governed by section 403(b) of the Internal Revenue Code. An employees participating in a TSA is responsible, along with their provider company agent, for ensuring that (s)he does not exceed the maximum exclusionary allowance (MEA) for the calendar year.

USF has two types of TSA providers:

  • Insurance companies which provide local agents available to meet personally with investors to assist employees with managing their accounts, and

  • mutual fund companies which allegedly offer higher returns on investments to employees willing to devote more time to the personal management of their investments
