How Do You Determine Catch-Up Contributions in a 457(b) Plan?
|
“We are a public higher education institution that sponsors a 403(b) and a 457(b) plan. Last year, we hired an employee who is now 63 years of age. He was eligible to make deferrals to both of our plans last year, but only deferred to the 403(b) plan. This year, he wants to max out in both of our plans. We know he can contribute $27,000 to the 403(b), but what about the 457(b) plan? We do have the special three-year catch-up provision in our plan, and our normal retirement age is 65. Would he qualify for that?”
