403(b) General Overview

Reliant offers a 403(b)(9) retirement plan option to eligible employees. This type of 403(b) plan is under a subsection of the IRS code (9) for church plans, but it's basically just a special type of 403(b) plan with additional benefits for churches. For simplicity purposes, we will refer to it as a 403(b) plan in most of our documentation.  

Reliant's 403(b) retirement plan may have a matching incentive for our employees. Reliant will match funds (up to a certain percentage) that these employees contribute to the 403(b) plan. The matching incentive is designed to motivate employees to contribute funds to the retirement savings plan. Reliant employees are 100% vested from the point they start contributing to the 403(b) Plan. 

Reliant's 403(b) Plan offers two types of savings opportunities for our employees: Traditional vs. Roth Contributions. Reliant auto-enrolls employees in the traditional contribution. Employees may opt to change to the Roth or give additional contributions to Roth as well as Traditional. 

Employees are eligible to begin participating in the plan upon their hire date and will be auto-enrolled in the 403(b)(9) plan at a $50 employee contribution amount (see Enrollment & Eligibility). Reliant will send an email upon hire notifying the employee that they have been auto-enrolled with GuideStone. Employees will then need to register on the MyGuidestone site in order to access their account. If an employee wishes to make any changes to the contribution amount or type of contribution, the changes will need to be done through their MyGuidestone account after Reliant has informed them of their eligibility and enrollment. 

Employees are eligible no matter the amount of hours they work (both part-time and full time workers are eligible) as long as they receive enough taxable wages for the 403B contribution amount to be deducted from those taxable wages. 

To change a contribution see Changes to Contributions. Contribution changes must be submitted to GuideStone by the 19th to then be effective on the following month's paycheck. GuideStone informs Reliant of any payroll changes made by employees.

To learn more about the Reliant employer match, please see Enrollment & Eligibility. The match is paid directly from the MTD fund the employee is responsible for with Reliant. The employee's support goal is increased by the match amount. Employees are asked to submit a new support goal to reflect any changes to their 403(b) contributions, to ensure their goals are up to date.

Withdrawals can be made from the 403(b) Plan Retirement account. (See Withdrawal (Age 59 1/2 or Higher) and Withdrawal as Parsonage (Age 59 1/2 or Older ). Withdrawals made before age 59½ may incur tax penalties.

Reliant employees are also eligible to receive a 403(b) loan. (See Loan Guidelines)
