Vesting

Vesting refers to the length of service required for you to own the employer contributions deposited into your 401(k) Profit Sharing Plan account by McAlester Regional Health Care. A year of vesting service is any year in which you work at least 1,000 hours. Employer contributions to the Plan, plus any earnings they generate are vested as follows.

  • Less than 2 years - 0%
  • 2 years - 20%
  • 3 years - 40%
  • 4 years - 60%
  • 5 years - 80%
  • 6 or more years - 100%

You are always 100% vested in employee contributions and Safe-Harbor contributions, plus any earnings they generate.

Important considerations before deciding to move funds either into or out of a Corebridge Retirement Services account
There are many things to consider. For starters, you will want to carefully review and compare your existing account and the new account, including: fees and charges; guarantees and benefits; and, any limitations under either of the accounts. Also, you will want to know whether a surrender of your current account could result in charges. Your financial professional can help you review these and other important considerations. Consult a tax professional before making a decision to move funds either into or out of a Corebridge account.

Accessing your money before retirement

Access to your contributions

In general, the money in your account may be distributed under any of the following circumstances:

  • Separation from service
  • Your retirement
  • Your death
  • Attainment of age 59½.

Please remember that income taxes are payable upon withdrawal. Federal restrictions and a 10% tax penalty may apply to withdrawals prior to age 59½.

In addition, the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) requires you to take Required Minimum Distribution (RMD) withdrawals from your retirement account(s) annually beginning the year you reach the RMD eligible age. RMD eligible age is:

  • Age 73 if you were born January 1, 1951, or later (The RMD eligible age will increase to age 75 after December 31, 2032)
  • Age 72 if you were born after June 30, 1949, and before January 1, 1951 (For individuals turning age 72 in 2023, no RMD payment is required in 2023)
  • Age 70 ½ if you were born before July 1, 1949.

Loans

The Plan will temporarily freeze loans from plan assets. McAlester Regional Health Center has notified the IRS of the change from the 401(k) plan to the 457(b) Deferred Compensation Plan. Upon approval of the change, the funds will become available for distributions subject to the rules of the plan.
