The contribution to the Region 10 FICA Alternative Plan will be deducted from your paycheck on a pre-tax basis, so you are not taxed on the gross amount. Funds remain tax-sheltered until they are withdrawn. Unlike Social Security withholding, if your employment with your District ends, you may withdraw funds subject to the Internal Revenue Code distribution guidelines under a 457(b) Deferred Compensation Plan.
