403(b)/457(b) Retirement Plan Instructions
Enrollment in and management of the 403(b) is the responsibility of the employee. Your first step to bolster your retirement savings is to start contributing to your employer’s 403(b)/457(b) plan(s). OMNI makes it easy to begin or change your contributions to your 403(b)/457(b) account. After you open an account with an approved investment provider in your employer’s plan, simply select your employer’s state (NY) and type in your employer’s name (Lewiston-Porter CSD). You will then be directed to the Salary Reduction Agreement form(s) where you will be able to detail the amount to be deducted as well as the approved investment provider with whom you wish to participate.
