You may refer to the benefits bills you receive each month. The withholding items listed on the pension bill from the NC Conference are the Comprehensive Protection Plan (CPP) – Pastor, the United Methodist Personal Investment Plan (UMPIP) – Pastor, and the Transition Fund (TF). CPP is always withheld on an after-tax basis. The UMPIP and TF may be withheld on either a before-tax, after-tax, or Roth basis, depending on your pastor’s election. Refer to the Contributions Agreement to the UMPIP provided to you by your pastor.
You may also refer to the Clergy Compensation Worksheet provided to you by your pastor. The Clergy Compensation Worksheet will itemize only the pension-related items like CRSP, CPP, TF, and UMPIP. Insurance-related withholdings can be found on the insurance bill from the NC Conference or by contacting a member of the Benefits Team at benefitsteam@nccumc.org. Each December insurance plan participants receive a letter confirming the elections for the next year. They are encouraged to provide a copy of this letter so that this information can be obtained prior to the start of the new year.
