FAQ
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.
For all types of benefit plans: ERISA Section 107 states that all records pertaining to agency filings or to participant or beneficiary disclosures must be retained and kept available for examination for at least six years.
In a defined benefit plan, an employer can require that employees have 5 years of service in order to become 100 percent vested in the employer funded benefits (called cliff vesting).
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.
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).
Civil and criminal sanctions are enforced when employers fail to adhere to ERISA standards for private-sector employee benefit plans. Violations include denying benefits improperly, breaching fiduciary duties, or interfering with employee rights under the plan.
Three years after the earliest date on which the plaintiff had actual knowledge of the breach or violation; except that in the case of fraud or concealment, such action may be commenced not later than six years after the date of discovery of such breach or violation.
The break in service rules allow a plan to disregard certain service before the employee has 5 consecutive 1-year breaks. If all of an employee's service with an employer is counted for vesting, the plan need not provide these rules.
A 403(b) plan (tax-sheltered annuity plan or TSA) is a retirement plan offered by public schools and certain charities. It's similar to a 401(k) plan maintained by a for-profit entity. Just as with a 401(k) plan, a 403(b) plan lets employees defer some of their salary into individual accounts.
A 403(b) plan is tax-deferred retirement savings plan offered to public school employees through their school districts or open-enrollment charter schools. Like 401(k) plans in the private sector, employees can make contributions to 403(b) plans on a pre-tax basis.
