FAQ
Which employees can be excluded from the plan? Employees who normally work less than 20 hours per week (this does not necessarily mean all part-time employees); Employees who will contribute $200 annually or less; Employees who participate in a 401(k) or 457 plan, or in another 403(b) plan of the employer;
One key exception is the ADP test that normally applies to salary deferrals. As a trade-off to the universal availability requirement (described above), 403(b) plans are not required to pass the ADP test. This allows any highly compensated employees to maximize their deferrals.
Limit on employee elective salary deferrals The limit on elective salary deferrals - the most an employee can contribute to a 403(b) account out of salary - is $23,000 in 2024, ($22,500 in 2023; $20,500 in 2022; $19,500 in 2021 and 2020).
403(b) plans sponsored by 501(c)(3) organizations (such as tax-exempt hospitals and charitable organizations) are generally subject to ERISA but may choose non-ERISA if they meet specific requirements. In other words, they do not automatically qualify to be non-ERISA.
403(b) contribution limits consist of your contribution and your employer's contributions. On your end, you can defer up to $23,500 from your salary to your 403(b) in 2025. If you exceed this contribution limit, the IRS will tax your funds twice.
ERISA restricts certain actions related to how benefit plans are designed and administered. For example, it limits the types of investments that retirement plans can make, imposes fiduciary duties on plan administrators, and mandates specific reporting and disclosure requirements.
Sub section 403(b)(1) describes annuity contracts that may be made available to employees under a Section 403(b) plan. Sub section 403(b)(7) describes custodial accounts (mutual funds) that may be made available to employees under a Section 403(b) plan.
ERISA generally requires that employer‑matching contributions either vest 100 percent after three years of service (cliff vesting), or vest 20 percent after two years of service, increasing by 20 percent per year until 100 percent vesting is achieved after six years (graded or graduate vesting).
Under ERISA, each fund is subject to additional requirements and obligations once more than 25 percent of the fund's assets under management (AUM) are subject to ERISA (the 25 percent threshold).
The two types of 403(b) plans include: Traditional 403(b) plan: Employees defer a portion of their paychecks to the account before federal or state income tax deductions. Roth 403(b) plan: Employees make deferrals to the designated Roth account after tax deductions.
