NEW! After-tax Roth contributions are now available. The WSU 403(b) and 457(b) retirement savings plans now offer the option to make Roth after-tax contributions in addition to the current pre-tax contributions option. Unlike a traditional pre-tax 403(b), the Roth contribution option allows you to contribute after-tax dollars and then withdraw tax-free dollars from your account when you retire. Click here to learn more about Roth contributions. 

WSU offers two retirement savings plans. Enroll and make changes any time after your date of hire. Each plan provides value, tax savings, and superior investment options:

• The 403(b) Retirement Savings Plan is offered with University contributions, loan options, and is fully vested after 2 years.
  • Universal Availability Notice
• The 457(b) Retirement Savings Plan is offered to any employee that is eligible for the 403(b) Plan, but does not offer University contributions or loan options.
