2025 403(b) Announcement for Central Linn School District
Supplemental Retirement Saving Opportunities
Central Linn School District offers an excellent voluntary program through which you may elect to contribute a portion of income into supplemental retirement savings accounts: the 403(b) Plan.
Central Linn School District has contracted with Carruth Compliance Consulting (“CCC”), a Third Party Administrator (TPA), to provide information and support for the 403(b) Plan.
All part-time and full-time employees are eligible to contribute.
You may begin, change, and/or cancel contributions in the 403(b) Plan at any time, subject to payroll deadlines. You may begin contributions in the 403(b) Plan by following the ‘403(b) Enrollment Procedures’ on the CCC website.
In addition to traditional pre-tax 403(b) contributions, Central Linn School District offers after-tax Roth 403(b) contributions.
Optional Features Available in the Plan
Central Linn School District has adopted the CCC “Plan Document Only Services,” with the result that your Plan will have exactly two optional features, as follows:
- Age-Related Catch-Up Provision (see the Contribution Limits section below)
- In-Service Distributions After Age 59-1/2
Optional Feature 2 above allows participants who reach age 59-1/2 to be eligible for distributions from their accounts, irrespective of their employment status.
You are able to begin and/or continue contributions to 403(b) Plan accounts, but you are not able to withdraw, exchange, or transfer accumulated benefits until you become eligible for a distribution. Distributable events include:
- Attainment of age 59-1/2
- Severance from employment
- Death
- Disability
403(b) Contribution* Limits for 2025
- $23,500.00 Applies to employees under Age 50 at the end of 2025
- $31,000.00 Applies to employees age 50-59 or over 63 by end of 2025
- $34,750.00 Applies to employees age 60-63 by end of 2025
*Note: Contributions to the plan above cannot exceed employees’ total compensation.
The ’Age-Related Catch-up Limits’ above apply for the first time in 2025 as a result of the SECURE 2.0 Act. A new ’Catch-up Contributions Must Be Roth for Highly Compensated Participants’ requirement becomes effective in 2026. Additional information about SECURE 2.0 requirements is available at www.ncompliance.com/secure2info.aspx.
Participant Responsibilities
- Participants are responsible for monitoring account activity regularly for accuracy (e.g., deposits of your contributions), updating contact and beneficiary information.
- Contribution limits are specific to you, the taxpayer. If you participate in another organization’s retirement plan in addition to participating in the Central Linn School District Plan, please note:
- 403(b) Elective Deferral Limits described above apply to your total deferrals to all 403(b), 401(k), SIMPLE, and SARSEP plans in which you participate.
- If you control an organization sponsoring a qualified defined contribution plan, all contributions made to that plan on your behalf must be aggregated with all 403(b) elective deferrals and employer contributions at Central Linn School District for the 2025 $70,000.00 IRC 415(c) limit, but those Age 50+ may defer additional amounts.
- Note: 457(b) contributions do not need to be aggregated with 403(b) contributions for limit consideration.
