What if I Make a Contribution for Which I Am Ineligible or Change My Mind About the Type of IRA to Which I Wish to Contribute?
Retirement Contribution 1. The State shall, as permitted by 5 M.R.S.A. §17702 §§s5 and 6, pay its cost of the 6.5% or 7.5% retirement contribution for employees in the bargaining unit who are covered under special Law Enforcement retirement plans.
2. The State shall, as permitted by 5 M.R.S.A. §17702 §§s5 and 6, pay the cost of the 6.5% or 7.5% retirement contribution for employees in the following classifications.
Financial contribution 1. The Union shall pay Seychelles a financial contribution in accordance with the terms and conditions laid down in the implementing Protocol to this Agreement. That contribution shall consist of two related elements, namely:
(a) access to the Seychelles fishing zone and fisheries resources, without prejudice to the access costs borne by the ship- owners; and
(b) Union's financial support for reinforcing responsible fishing policy and the sustainable exploitation of fisheries resources in Seychelles' waters.
2. The component of the financial contribution for the sectoral support referred to in point (b) of paragraph 1 shall be independent of the payments regarding access costs and shall be determined and managed in the light of the objectives identified by mutual consent between the Parties in accordance with the implementing Protocol to this Agreement, to be achieved in the context of the sectoral fisheries policy of Seychelles and the annual and multi-annual programme for its implementation.
3. The financial contribution granted by the Union shall be paid each year in accordance with the implementing Protocol to this Agreement and subject to this Agreement:
(a) the amount of the contribution referred to in point (a) of paragraph 1 may be revised by the Joint Committee in respect of:
(i) exceptional circumstances, other than natural phenomena, preventing fishing activities in the Seychelles fishing zone;
(ii) a reduction in the fishing opportunities granted to Union vessels, made by mutual agreement between the Parties for the purposes of managing the stocks concerned, where this is considered necessary for the conservation and sustainable exploitation of resources on the basis of the best available scientific advice;
(iii) an increase in the fishing opportunities granted to Union vessels, made by mutual agreement between the Parties where the best available scientific advice concurs that the state of resources so permits;
(b) the amount of the contribution referred to in point (b) of paragraph 1 may be revised as a result of a reassessment of the terms of the financial contribution for implementing the sectoral fisheries policy of Seychelles, where this is warranted by the specific results of the annual and multiannual programming observed by both Parties;
(c) the contribution referred to in paragraph 1 may be suspended as a result of the application of Article 16 or 17 of this Agreement.
Employer Contribution (a) An Employer contribution for health and dental benefits will only be made for each active employee who has at least eighty (80) paid regular hours in a month and who is eligible for medical insurance coverage, unless otherwise required by law.
(b) It is understood that the administrative intent of this Article is that the Employer contribution is made for individuals who are participants in the medical insurance coverages. Participation will mean that eligible less-than-full-time employees who drop out of coverage will be considered to participate. Additionally, employees who elect to opt out of coverage for a cash incentive will be considered to participate.
Contribution Formula - Basic Life Coverage For employee basic life coverage and accidental death and dismemberment coverage, the Employer contributes one-hundred (100) percent of the cost.
Tax Credit for Contributions You may be eligible to receive a tax credit for your IRA contributions. This credit will be allowed in addition to any tax deduction that may apply, and may not exceed $1,000 in a given year. You may be eligible for this tax credit if you are • age 18 or older as of the close of the taxable year, • not a dependent of another taxpayer, and • not a full-time student. The credit is based upon your income (see chart below), and will range from 0 to 50 percent of eligible contributions. In order to determine the amount of your contributions, add all of the contributions made to your IRA and reduce these contributions by any distributions that you have taken during the testing period. The testing period begins two years prior to the year for which the credit is sought and ends on the tax return due date (including extensions) for the year for which the credit is sought. In order to determine your tax credit, multiply the applicable percentage from the chart below by the amount of your contributions that do not exceed $2,000. *Adjusted gross income (AGI) includes foreign earned income and income from Guam, America Samoa, North Mariana Islands, and Puerto Rico. AGI limits are subject to cost-of-living adjustments each year.
Retirement Contributions On behalf of employees, the State will continue to “pick up” the six percent (6%) employee contribution, payable pursuant to law. The parties acknowledge that various challenges have been filed that contest the lawfulness, including the constitutionality, of various aspects of PERS reform legislation enacted by the 2003 Legislative Assembly, including Chapters 67 (HB 2003) and 68 (HB 2004) of Oregon Laws 2003 (“PERS Litigation”). Nothing in this Agreement shall constitute a waiver of any party’s rights, claims or defenses with respect to the PERS Litigation.
Voluntary Contributions Subrecipient must assure that voluntary contributions shall be allowed and may be solicited in accordance with the following requirements [OAA § 315(b)]:
1. The Subrecipient or any subcontractors for any Title III or Title VII-A services shall not use means tests.
2. Any Title III or Title VII-A client that does not contribute toward the cost of the services received shall not be denied services.
3. Methods used to solicit voluntary contributions for Title III and Title VII-A services shall be non-coercive.
4. Each service provider will:
a) Provide each recipient with an opportunity to voluntarily contribute to the cost of the service.
b) Clearly inform each recipient that there is no obligation to contribute and that the contribution is purely voluntary.
c) Protect the privacy and confidentiality of each recipient with respect to the recipient’s contribution or lack of contribution; and
d) Establish appropriate procedures to safeguard and account for all contributions.
e) Use all collected contributions to expand the services for which the contributions were given and to supplement (not supplant) funds received under this program.
Catch-Up Contributions In the case of a Traditional IRA Owner who is age 50 or older by the close of the taxable year, the annual cash contribution limit is increased by $1,000 for any taxable year beginning in 2006 and years thereafter.
