Are Retirement Plan Contributions Subject to FOIA

[waid10]

Hi.  I work for a governmental entity (at the municipal level).  My salary information is public information and subject to any citizen's Freedom of Information Act request).  Are my contributions to retirement plans (403(b), 401(a), and/or 457(b)) included in that information that is FOIA-able?

Thanks.

You're referring to a state law? Which state?

Don't know, but my hunch would be Yes.

However, perhaps you can ask:https://www.virginia.gov/services/freedom-of-information-act/

You should definitely ask the question at the link provided, but I would be very surprised if the answer is yes.

FOIA jurisdiction typically applies to the official acts of government agencies, bodies and employees. Your salary is just that.

I would think your personal employee benefit selections are personal matters subject to privacy laws.
