SUPPLEMENTAL RETIREMENT PLANS
401k Plan
Shelby County Schools, in conjunction with the State of Tennessee, offers a 401k plan through Empower. This is part of Tennessee’s Retire Ready TN platform, which incorporates our defined pension plan through Tennessee Consolidated Retirement Systems (TCRS) and the 401k deferred compensation plans.
SCS employees are eligible to participate in the 401K plan through Empower. Teachers are automatically enrolled for a 2% contribution with an opt-out option if hired on or after July 1, 2014. All other employees can enroll voluntarily.
To enroll in the 401k deferred compensation plan, make changes to the deduction amount, or ask questions related to establishing an account, please contact Retire Ready/Empower at 1-800-922-7772 or visit their website at https://www.empower-retirement.com/.
