Plan HighlightsFairfax County Public Schools 403(b) Retirement Savings Plan

Welcome to your Fairfax County Public Schools 403(b) Retirement Savings Plan, which offers you an excellent opportunity to help accumulate money for a secure retirement. You may choose to invest in either our mutual fund platform that offers a variety of mutual funds, including a Fixed-Interest Option*, or our current annuity platform with the Portfolio Director® Fixed and Variable Annuity (Portfolio Director). Either way, you contribute pretax by convenient payroll reduction, which might lower current income taxes. Your account also has the opportunity to benefit from tax-advantaged growth.

This is not your plan document. The administration of each plan is governed by the actual plan document. If discrepancies arise between this brochure and the plan document, the plan document will govern.

EligibilityYou are immediately eligible to begin contributing to the plan.

Enrolling is easy! Here’s how …To enroll, visit Fairfax County Public Schools’ custom website, VALIC.com/fcps, and follow the prompts or call the Enrollment Center at 1-888-569-7055.

Catch-up contributionsYou may be able to contribute up to an additional $6,000 in 2018 if you are age 50 or older.

Fee disclosure informationObtain specific fee disclosure and fund performance information by visiting VALIC.com/fcps and clicking on “Fee Disclosure” in the dark box at the bottom of the screen.

Stop/change contributionsYou may change your contribution amount or discontinue contributing at any time and resume contributing again later. In the meantime, your account will continue to grow on a tax-deferred basis.

To change, stop or restart your plan contributions, you must submit a completed Salary Reduction Agreement (SRA). SRAs submitted on or before the 20th of the month will be effective the first of the following month. SRAs submitted after the 20th of the month become effective the first of the second month that follows.

Example: •SRA submitted 09/20 is effective 10/01•SRA submitted 09/21 is effective 11/01

VestingYou are always 100% vested in your own contributions.

Account consolidationYou might be able to roll over your vested retirement account balance from a previous employer’s plan to your Fairfax County Public Schools 403(b) Retirement Savings Plan. This may be a way to simplify your financial profile and to ensure your overall investments are suitably diversified and consistent with your investment preferences. However, before moving funds, check with your other provider to determine if your account has any restrictions or imposes a withdrawal penalty or charges.

Investment flexibilityAll contributions to your plan will be invested in either the Portfolio Director Fixed and Variable Annuity or the mutual fund options you designate. While both the annuity and mutual fund platforms offer a range of investment choices, you may not invest in both platforms at the same time.

• Fund Annual Operating Expenses apply depending on the mutual fund chosen and are described in the prospectus.

Death benefit Death benefit• In the event of your death prior to annuitization, your Portfolio Director

contract provides for a death benefit. Whether you contribute to fixed or variable investment options, your contract guarantees that your beneficiary will never receive less than the amount contributed, even if the contract value is less (assuming that no withdrawals have been made from the account). Withdrawals will reduce the death benefit, depending on the account value at the time of withdrawal. All guarantees are backed by the claims-paying ability of The Variable Annuity Life Insurance Company. See your prospectus for details.

• Also, in the event of your death, the benefit passes directly to your named beneficiary. This generally avoids the costs and delays of probate. Your beneficiary can leave all or a portion of the account balance on deposit, subject to Required Minimum Distribution rules. Usually, your beneficiary can make withdrawals at any time without incurring charges from VALIC. Required minimum rules require distributions to beneficiaries within certain time frames to avoid tax penalties. There also will be no charges from the company if the beneficiary chooses to withdraw the entire account balance.

• In the event of your death, your beneficiary would receive an amount equal to the then-current balance of mutual fund and fixed account assets.

• The benefit passes directly to your named beneficiary. This generally avoids the costs and delays of probate. Your beneficiary can leave all or a portion of the account balance on deposit, depending on the circumstances. Usually, the beneficiary can make withdrawals at any time without incurring charges from The Variable Annuity Life Insurance Company, subject to tax laws that might require distributions to occur within designated time frames. There also will be no charges from the company if the beneficiary chooses to withdraw the entire account balance.

Fund transfer provisions Fund transfer provisions• You can transfer money among the variable funds and Fixed-Interest

Option without charges or tax consequences, subject to certain limitations as detailed in your prospectus.

• Fixed-Interest Option can restrict when and how much you can transfer to other investments and how much you may withdraw from the plan in a single year. For example, Fixed Account Plus in-service transfers are limited to 20% each contract year.

• Remember that your Portfolio Director account is a long-term investment, and the value of the variable options you choose will fluctuate so that your investment values might be worth more or less than the original cost. Bear in mind that investing involves risk, including possible loss of principal.

• You can transfer money among the mutual funds and Fixed-Interest Option without charges or tax consequences, subject to certain limitations as detailed in your custodial agreement and fixed contract.

• Generally, participants may transfer assets from the Fixed-Interest Option into equity options at any time and, after 90 days, from equity options into another fixed-income option such as a money market fund, a stable value fund or certain short-term bond funds, if such “competing options” are allowed in the plan.

• Remember that your mutual fund account is a long-term investment. Investment values will fluctuate and there is no assurance that the objective of any fund will be achieved. Mutual fund shares are redeemable at the then-current net asset value, which may be more or less than their original cost. Bear in mind that investing involves risk, including possible loss of principal.
