Retirement Programs

The Centenary College Retirement Plan is a defined contribution plan. Benefits are provided through fixed-dollar annuities issued by the Teachers Insurance and Annuity Association (TIAA) or through variable annuities offered by TIAA's companion organziation, the College Retirement Equities Fund (CREF). TIAA is an insurance company founded in 1919 and incorporated under New York State Law. CREF is registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission as an open-ended diversified investment company.

The Retirement Plan (Matching Plan) and the Supplmental Retirement Plan (Tax Deferred Annuity) operate under Section 403(b) of the Internal Revernue Code and use TIAA and CREF Retirement Annuities to provide benefits. The Plan Administrator is the College. The Plan Year begins January 1 and ends December 31. The College's eligible participants may select from various investment vehicles offered through TIAA-CREF.
