SUPPLEMENTAL ANNUITY COLLECTIVE TRUST FUND OF NEW JERSEY (SACT)
The Supplemental Annuity Collective Trust of New Jersey (SACT) is a voluntary investment program that provides retirement income separate from, and in addition to, your basic pension plan. Your contributions are invested conservatively in the stock market. The program consists of two separate plans, the SACT-Regular Plan and the SACT-Tax-Sheltered Plan (IRC Section 403(b)). To be eligible to participate in the SACT, you must be an actively contributing member of one of the state-administered retirement systems, such as the Public Employees' Retirement System (PERS).
To be considered eligible for an SACT, you must be actively enrolled in the PERS/TPAF/PFRS retirement plan.
NEW JERSEY STATE EMPLOYEES DEFERRED COMPENSATION PLAN (NJSEDCP)
The New Jersey State Employees Deferred Compensation Plan (NJSEDCP) provides you, as an eligible state employee, an opportunity to voluntarily shelter a portion of your wages from federal income taxes while saving for retirement to supplement your Social Security and pension benefits. Under the plan, federal income tax is not due on deferred amounts or accumulated earnings until you receive a distribution (payment) from your account. Presumably, distribution is at retirement when your tax rate is expected to be lower.
