PFCC Tax-Deferred Retirement Account (TDRA)

The Tax-Deferred Retirement Account (TDRA), also known as a 403(b) is a defined contribution account that guarantees a current base interest rate of 3.5% in addition to any good experience credits awarded by PFCC’s Board of Trustees. By contributing to a TDRA, you are able to lower taxable income and defer taxes until funds are withdrawn in retirement. The TDRA is a great option for rollovers.
