Once you have registered with Voya, click here for instructions on how to access your account both online and via phone. Please note that there is a $500 administration fee once you register for the 401(k), along with a nominal annual fee to cover ongoing accounting and processing costs (and the annual fee will be calculated each year based on the total number of participants in the 401(k)).
You will need to let Accounting know at least five business days prior to the draw date if you wish to make a one-time contribution to your 401(k) from your draw payment. You can also set up with Accounting an automatic deduction for your 401(k) for each draw payment based on a percentage of income or fixed amount. The amounts you list on the Voya website are for your budgeting purposes only and not used by Accounting.
As of the 2019 tax year, you can contribute the following as a participant in the firm’s 401(k) plan:
- Maximum “deferral” portion of your contribution of $19,000.
- Catch-up contribution of $6,000 if you are over 50 years of age for a total of $25,000.
- “Self-match” portion of your contribution of 4% of your compensation from Culhane Meadows, up to maximum compensation of $280,000. So, if you made over $280,000 (after subtracting business expenses and self-employment taxes) and wanted to max out, you could add another $11,200.
So, someone over 50 with more than $280,000 in compensation (after subtracting business expenses and self-employment taxes) could invest up to a total amount of $36,200. If you are under 50 with more than $275,000 in compensation (after subtracting business expenses and self-employment taxes), you could invest up to a total amount of $30,200.
