Catch-up Contributions
Employees who are age 50 or older are eligible to contribute an additional $5,000 above the
maximum 401(k) amount allowed by ECAP and the Internal Revenue Service. In order to take
advantage of this option, you must already be making normal 401(k) contributions from your
pay. Catch-up contribution elections carry over to the next year, unless a new election is
made.
Your election must be in a dollar format and keep in mind that the amount you elect is a per
pay amount. For example, if you elect $4,000, $4,000 will be withheld from one pay; if you
elect $334, this amount will be deducted from each pay until $4,000 is met.
