Effective 1-1-25, count these LTPT employees starting with the 2023 year.
Higher Catch-Up Contributions:
Beginning 1-1-25, if you are between the ages of 60 - 63, you may defer a higher catch-up 401(k) contribution than before.
The additional catch-up contribution is limited to: the greater of (1) $10k (indexed each year), OR (2) 50% more than the regular catch-up contribution for that year. (The $10,000 option will be the greater choice for many years.)
