2025 403(b) and 457(b) Announcement for Lane CC
Supplemental Retirement Saving Opportunities
Lane CC offers two excellent voluntary programs through which you may elect to contribute a portion of income into supplemental retirement savings accounts: the 403(b) and 457(b) Plans.
Lane CC has contracted with Carruth Compliance Consulting (“CCC”), a Third Party Administrator (TPA), to provide information and support for the 403(b) and 457(b) Plans.
All part-time and full-time employees are eligible to contribute.
You may begin, change, and/or cancel contributions in the 403(b) Plan and/or the 457(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) and 457(b) contributions, Lane CC offers after-tax Roth 403(b) contributions.

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 Lane CC 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 Lane CC 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.
- If a problem exists or if you have questions, you should contact CCC or your employer as soon as possible.
