Welcome to your 403(b) retirement plan. Click below to view the features and highlights of your employer’s retirement plan.
The plan highlights are only a brief overview of the plan's features and are not a legally binding document. The information in this section does not modify the terms of the plan and in the event of a conflict, the terms of the plan control.
Employees of Chicago Public Schools (CPS) who normally work 20 hours or more per week are eligible to make elective deferrals by salary reduction.
You may contribute as much as 100% of your annual compensation up to the maximum IRS contribution limit. You may increase, decrease or stop your contributions at any time.
Your contribution limit for 2024 is $23,000.
You may qualify for a higher level of elective contributions than those described above if certain requirements are met:
> An additional $3,000 if you have 15 more years of service and have undercontributed in prior years, and
> An additional $7,500 if you are age 50 or older.
You have a choice regarding your elective contributions. You can direct all of your contributions to a traditional pretax account, to a Roth account or to a combination of the two. Contributions to a Roth account are after-tax. Regardless of your election, you are subject to the annual contribution limits detailed previously.

Important considerations before deciding to move funds either into or out of a Corebridge Retirement Services account
There are many things to consider. For starters, you will want to carefully review and compare your existing account and the new account, including: fees and charges; guarantees and benefits; and, any limitations under either of the accounts. Also, you will want to know whether a surrender of your current account could result in charges. Your financial professional can help you review these and other important considerations. Consult a tax professional before making a decision to move funds either into or out of a Corebridge account.
Tax-free loans make it possible for you to access your account without permanently reducing your account balance. Defaulted loan amounts (not repaid on time) will be taxed as ordinary income and may be subject to a 10% federal tax penalty if you are under age 59½.
Please note, you may only have active loan outstanding at a time.
