In addition, some limits require aggregation of the Fayette County 457(b) Employee Retirement Plan with other plans in which I may participate. These rules may vary depending on the type of plan, the type of contributions, and how the plan is structured. Fayette County does not monitor your participation in other plans.

  • INTERNAL REVENUE CODE CONTRIBUTION LIMITS
    Annual Dollar Limit on Elective Deferrals (IRC §457(b)(2))
    Internal Revenue Code (IRC) §457(b)(2) limits the amount of salary deferral contributions that can be contributed to the Fayette County 457(b) Employee Retirement Plan and to all IRC §457(b) plans and other similar type of plans in which an employee participates in any calendar year. The annual dollar limit is the lesser of 100 percent of the employee’s compensation for the calendar year, or the “applicable dollar amount” which is $22,500 in 2023. An employee must self-monitor elective deferrals made to any other current or former employer retirement plans, to avoid exceeding the IRC limits.


    Age 50 or Older Catch-up Contributions (IRC §414(v)(2))
    For participants who are at least age 50 before the end of the plan year, the current dollar limits on elective deferrals are increased. The additional elective deferrals that are permitted to be made by an eligible participant is the lesser of the participant’s compensation for the year reduced by any other elective deferrals of the participant for the year or the “applicable dollar amount” which is $7,500 for 2023.


    Special 3-year Plan Catch-Up Limitation
    If the applicable year is one of an Employee’s last 3 calendar years ending before the Participant attains Normal Retirement Age, the Employee may be eligible for additional deferrals. Consult the Plan Representative or Plan Document for additional information.
