New IRS Retirement Contribution Limits

January 11, 2019

The 2019 employee contribution limits to 403(b) accounts have been set by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS). Employees can contribute up to $19,000 to their 403(b) plans in the 2019 calendar year. For those age 50 and over, an additional “catch-up” amount of $6,000 is allowed by the IRS for a total maximum limit of $25,000. Those who wish to change their individual retirement contributions for 2019 can do so by filling out the Voluntary Retirement Contribution Form on the Human Resources Benefits website and email the completed form back to benefits@up.edu.

You can also sign up for a TIAA counseling session with Rebecca Rohleder, who will be on campus during work hours starting Tuesday, January 29 through Thursday, January 31, in the Career Center at Orrico Hall. Schedule an appointment today at www.tiaa-cref.org/schedulenow or by calling TIAA at 877-872-2028 (press 5 to schedule an appointment).
