Voluntary Deductions

Millersville Employees Dedicated to the Advancement of Learning (MEDAL Fund)

This program, administered by the Advancement Office, gives Millersville University employees the opportunity to donate funds for scholarships, building projects, employee training and education, etc. via payroll deduction. The Advancement Office conducts an annual campaign, distributing information and pledge forms to all employees. Questions concerning information and/or pledge forms should be referred to that office at extension 7500. This deduction will appear as Ann Giving on the earnings statement.

State Employees Combined Appeal (SECA)

This deduction is similar to the United Way. The SECA campaign runs during the fall semester. Participants complete the deduction authorization including the amount and charity of their choice. Deductions begin on the first pay date of the new calendar year and continue through the last pay date of the calendar year. In order to keep the deduction active from one calendar year into the next, a new authorization form must be completed annually. If a new form is not received, deductions will automatically end at the end of the calendar year. Employees are permitted to authorize deductions to begin for SECA at any time during the calendar year, not just at campaign time.

Tax Sheltered Annuity (TSA) & Deferred Compensation

Although PASSHE Tax Sheltered Annuities (TSA's) and Deferred Compensation are two separate deduction types, they are similar in that they allow employees the option to voluntarily save a portion of their gross pay before federal withholding taxes are deducted.  TSA deductions may be made to any PASSHE approved carrier (see list).  Deferred Compensation deductions are through Great West Retirement Services.  The maximum dollar amount employees may elect to have deducted for 2023 is $22,500 for those under the age of 50, and $30,000 for those age 50 or over.  Please contact the Office of Human Resources (Dilworth Building, Room 105, Extension 4950) if you have questions relating to these plans or related deductions.
