The University of Pittsburgh Retirement Program, established under the Internal Revenue Code, provides an opportunity for you to elect from two pension plan options:

• Defined Contribution Program (403[b] and 401[a] Plans)
  • Roth 403(b) 
• Noncontributory Defined Benefit Pension Plan (University Funded Trust of Mellon Bank)

You may participate if you are employed as a regular full-time or regular part-time eligible staff and are not covered by a separate collective bargaining agreement. After the initial enrollment election, you may terminate participation in one plan and become a participant in the other plan if you are eligible for that plan. You may change plans only once during your career at the University of Pittsburgh.
