Alternate Retirement Plan

FICA Alternative Plan

The FICA Alternative Plan is a defined contribution plan authorized under Section 401(a) of the Internal Revenue Code. BENCOR, Inc. is the plan administrator for Lake-Sumter State College. In lieu of paying 6.2% of your wages for Social Security taxes, you will now contribute 7.5% of your pre-tax wages into an investment account in your name. Medicare contributions at 1.45% will continue to be withheld from your paychecks. Participation in this plan is mandatory for all eligible employees. You will be automatically enrolled or un-enrolled by the College as your salary plan status changes during your employment with Lake-Sumter State College.
