Plan Contribution Limits Sample Clauses
The Plan Contribution Limits clause sets the maximum amount that participants or employers can contribute to a retirement or benefit plan within a specified period, typically a calendar year. These limits are often determined by government regulations or plan rules and may vary based on factors such as age, type of plan, or employment status. By establishing clear contribution caps, this clause ensures compliance with legal requirements and prevents overfunding, thereby protecting both the plan sponsor and participants from potential tax penalties or disqualification of the plan.
Plan Contribution Limits. I understand that Code Section 402(g) limits my salary reduction contributions to the 403(b) Plan under this Agreement to a "dollar limit." The general dollar limit is $19,000 for 2019 (this dollar limit will be adjusted by cost of living increases thereafter). However, my actual dollar limit may be higher than the general dollar limit if I will be 50 years old (or older) by the end of the calendar year. If I will be at least 50 years old by the end of the calendar year, I understand that I may make additional "catch-up" salary reduction contributions above the general dollar limit. These additional catch-up salary reduction contributions, which are referred to as "age 50 catch-up contributions," are provided under Code Section 414(v). I understand that the amount of the age 50 catch-up contributions that I may make above the general dollar limit is up to an additional $6,000 for 2019 (this dollar amount will be adjusted by cost of living increases thereafter). I understand that the dollar limit, with all appropriate adjustments described above, applies to any salary reduction contributions I make in a calendar year to any retirement plans in which I participate (not including PERF, TRF, a 457(b) plan, deferred compensation plans or flexible benefit plan contributions), including plans maintained by other employers. I understand that my salary reduction contributions to the 403(b) Plan and other retirement plans for each year are also limited, except as permitted under Code Section 414(v) allowing age 50 catch-up contributions, by the general rules of Code Section 415 to the lesser of $56,000 for 2019 (this dollar amount will be adjusted by cost of living increases thereafter) or 100% of compensation. Excess Contributions I understand that if my salary reduction contributions to the 403(b) Plan and other retirement plans in which I participate exceed the applicable dollar limits, the excess will be taxable both in the year the contribution was made and in the year of distribution unless I timely request to have the excess returned to me. To have the excess returned to me, I must notify the College of the excess before March 1 of the year following the year in which the excess was made (e.
