FAQ
The Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA) is a federal law that sets minimum standards for most voluntarily established retirement and health plans in private industry to provide protection for individuals in these plans.
Like 401(k) plans, 403(b) plans are account-based defined contribution plans sponsored by employers. Many 403(b) plans are subject to ERISA requirements and are intended to protect the interests of plan participants. However, some 403(b) plans are not covered by ERISA.
All 403(b) plans are subject to Title I of ERISA unless an exemption applies.
Five-year post severance contributions are employer contributions made to a 403(b) plan after the employee's severance from employment. In general, post severance contributions must meet the following: Employer contributions may be made for an employee for up to 5 years after the employee's employment ends.
This universal availability rule means that if one employee is permitted to make 403(b) elective deferrals (including designated Roth contributions, if allowed by the plan), the employer must extend this option to all its employees.
However, not all retirement plans are covered by ERISA. For example, Federal, state, or local government plans and some church plans are not covered.
Look at Employer Contributions: If your employer contributes to the plan or matches your contributions, it's likely an ERISA plan. Consider Your Employer: If you work for a private company, your plan is more likely to be ERISA. Government and church employees typically have non-ERISA plans.
403(b) Plans and Tax Deferral If you are separated from service, you can begin withdrawing funds, without penalty, at age 59½. Once you reach age 73, there are minimum withdrawals you must take known as required minimum distributions (RMDs).
Under this provision, if you have 15 or more years of service at the same employer, you can contribute an additional $3,000 a year if you have not maxed out your 403(b) contributions in previous years. The 15-year service catch-up contribution, however, has a $15,000 lifetime limit.
