    Annual Dollar Limit on Elective Deferrals (IRC §457(b)(2))

An employee must self-monitor elective deferrals made to any other current or former employer retirement plans, to avoid exceeding the IRC limits.

    For participants who turn age 60, 61, 62, or 63 in a calendar 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 $11,250 for 2025 and $11,250 for the 2026 plan (calendar) year. The Basic Limit and Ages 6-63 Super Catch-up is $34,750 for 2025 and $35,750 for the 2026 calendar year.

    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, which is the twice the Annual Contribution Limit.  The Special 3 Year Catch-Up provision is $47,000 for 2025 and $49,000 for 2026.
