Several provisions in the recently enacted Economic Growth and Tax Relief Reconciliation Act of 2001 will allow UCAR employees to increase tax-deferral contributions (any contributions above the mandatory 5% contributions) to a TIAA-CREF Retirement Annuity (RA) or a Supplemental Retirement Annuity (SRA). This means that most UCAR employees will be able to contribute up to $11,000 in 2002 to their RA and/or SRA annuities. To learn more about the tax law, TIAA-CREF representatives will be on-site Wednesday to present seminars outlining these changes. No sign-up is required. The seminars are scheduled for Wednesday, December 5: Foothills Lab Auditorium, 10:00 a.m. Mesa Lab Main Seminar Room, 1:30 p.m.
