Reliant encourages all international employees to seek tax counsel regarding IRS ruling 70-491 when determining if the Roth option is something they should utilize for their retirement savings. There may be tax implications of selecting Roth for your retirement funds while filing under the Foreign Earned Income Exclusion to consider and discuss with your tax counsel. |
403(b)(9) Employee Contribution Changes
When making a change to your 403(b)(9) contribution amount, please also submit an updated support goal in Toolbox. However, changing your support goal does not change the amount deducted from your paycheck, you have to make the change on the Guidestone site to affect your paycheck. The process below is used for changing the amount deducted from your paycheck- the employee contribution amount. (See Traditional vs. Roth Contributions for more details on the two types of employee contributions.) All changes must be submitted on the Guidestone site by the 19th of the month to be effective on the following month's paycheck. For the employer contribution, Reliant will calculate the 403(b)(9) match (See Employer Matching Contributions - Class 1, Career Employees and non-match Employer Contributions - Class 2, Fixed Term Employees) based on your employee contributions as noted on the GuideStone site and payroll earnings. Reliant will add that employer contribution amount to your 403(b)(9) GuideStone account using the funds from the MTD account for which you are responsible during payroll. |

|

Timing of Change
GuideStone will submit your changes to Reliant to be reflected on your next paystub. All changes must be submitted on the Guidestone site by the 19th of the month to be effective on the next month's paycheck. Changes made on the GuidStone website after the 19th of the month may not be reflected until the following month after that. If you have missed the 19th deadline but you want to request that your change be reflected on the next paystub, email payroll@reliant.org to ask if they can manually make the late change request on the next paycheck.
GuideStone employee website will not immediately update your contribution amount change request on the website view. (See website view below.) The changes requested will be reflected on the GuideStone website after the future payroll contribution changes have been paid out on the following month's paycheck and those paycheck contribution amounts have been sent back to GuildeStone (typically the week after paydate).
