Important information about Pension Salary Elective Deferral Contributions:

In order to continue to make salary elective contributions (aka voluntary contributions) your congregation must remit them directly to Fidelity Investments per pay period. They may no longer be contributed in a lump sum. Click here for additional information. Click here for information from the IRS regarding the change to the policy.

You are required to fill in your compensation, parsonage, and contribution amount, along with confirmation of prior years of service. The information you supply to the Plan is used to calculate applicable IRS limitation testing. This testing establishes how much you can deposit to the 403(b) pension plan. If you exceed these limits, the excess will be deposited to the Supplemental Plan. This may occur if any or all of the following apply: a high parsonage amount in relationship to your compensation or a large contribution to the Plan in any given year. Remember, the balance deposited is tax-deferred until you retire.
