Additional Annuity or Additional Contributions is a voluntary contribution to help you save additional funds for your retirement. You may contribute up to 10% of your base compensation to provide a monthly annuity at retirement separate from your regular retirement allowance.

• Your contributions are made post-tax from your paycheck, subject to IRS limits.


• Your account earns interest while on deposit at the rate specified in the Plan.


• There is no Department matching for the amount you contribute.


• There is no fee charged to maintain your account or even when you withdraw from it.


• You may start, stop, or change your contributions at any time while you are an active member of the Plan by completing this form.


• You cannot withdraw from your Additional Annuity account prior to retirement unless you terminate and withdraw all your contributions from the Plan.


• If you die before you retire, the balance in your Additional Annuity account, plus the interest that you have accumulated, will be refunded to your named beneficiaries.
