Starting early has its advantages

Your contributions

Through payroll deduction, your plan allows you to make pretax contributions up to the maximum allowed by the Internal Revenue Service. An Internal Revenue Service (IRS) dollar limit also applies. Talk to your financial professional for more information.

2024 contribution limit

Your contribution limit for 2024 is $23,000.

If you have an existing qualified retirement plan (pretax), 403(b) tax-deferred arrangement or deferred compensation plan account with a prior government employer or hold a traditional IRA account, you can transfer or roll over that account into the plan on becoming a participant in the plan.

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.

Can I stop or change my contributions?

You may stop your contributions anytime. Once you discontinue contributions, you may only start again as provided under the terms of the plan. You can increase or decrease the amount of your contributions anytime.

Vesting

Vesting is a participant’s right of ownership to the money in his or her plan account. You are always 100% vested in employee contributions, and rollover contributions, plus any earnings they generate.

Accessing your money before retirement

The plan was established to encourage long-term savings, so withdrawals prior to age 59½ might be subject to federal restrictions and a 10% federal early withdrawal penalty.

Money can be withdrawn from the plan in these events:

  • Inservice at age 59½  
  • Death
  • Disability
  • Severance from employment
  • In-service withdrawal of your rollover contributions

Income taxes are payable upon withdrawal and federal restrictions and a 10% federal early withdrawal penalty may apply to early withdrawals. Be sure to talk with your tax advisor before withdrawing any money from your plan account.

Can I withdraw money in case of financial hardship?

If you have an immediate financial need created by severe hardship and you lack other reasonably available resources to meet that need, you may be eligible to receive a hardship withdrawal from your voluntary contributions.

If you feel you are facing financial hardship, you should see your financial professional for more details.

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.

Can I borrow money from my account?

The plan is intended to help you put aside money for your retirement. However, Tampa General Hospital has included a plan feature that enables you to access money from the plan tax free without permanently reducing your account.

  • The amount the plan can loan to you is limited by rules under the tax law. All loans will be limited to the lesser of: one-half of your vested account balance or $50,000.

  • The minimum loan amount is $1,000.

  • All loans must generally be repaid within five years. A longer term may be available if the loan is to be used to purchase your principal residence.

  • You pay interest back to your account. The interest rate on your loan will be the Prime Rate plus 1%.

  • A $50.00 processing fee for all new loans and a $30.00 per year loan maintenance fee are charged to your account.

Unpaid loan amounts will be taxed as ordinary income and may incur a 10% federal early withdrawal penalty if you are under age 59½.

Other requirements and limits must be met prior to borrowing money from your account. For additional information regarding loans, please see your financial professional.
