Safe-harbor enhanced match


Recommended Posts

I just took over a plan with an enhanced safe-harbor match - 150% on the dollar up to 6% of compensation. In looking at the prior year allocation, the match allcoated to the HCEs was $22,500 - the same as their 401k deferrals. In limiting the SHM to 6%, would the 2012 compensation cap of $250,000 not have limited the SHM to the HCEs at $15,000? ($250,000 at 6%) The rest of the document is pretty straight forward. Thanks for any plan design guidance I've missed.

The match basis is capped at 6%, or $15,000 in your case. The match allocation is 150% of that which is $22.5k.
