415 and 402(g) limits=>participant in both govt&private plans


Recommended Posts

State employee participates in their plan.

He also works for wife's firm who has a 401(k) Plan.

I know 415 limits are plan specific.

But is there an individual 402(g) limit that combines contributions to the state plan as well as the private plan?

Yes. 415 limit is separate for different employers (so long as they aren't part of the same control group). 402(g) is measured at the employee level.

And watch out for 403(b) there, as those accounts are considered owned by the employee, so if they own a side business and it has a plan, aggregation for 415 comes into play.

So you are saying contributions to the State Gov't plan are incorporated into the 402(g) calculation?

TPApril, is the government plan to which the individual is deferring a grandfathered 401(k), a 403(b) or 457(b)? Grandfathered 401(k) or a 403(b) would aggregate, but 457(b) not.
