This form allows you to elect to make before-tax, Roth and/or aer-tax contribuons to your United Methodist Personal
Investment Plan (UMPIP) account.
UMPIP is a 403(b) plan, subject to contribuon limits under the Internal Revenue Code. Your total before-tax and
Roth contribuons for the year to UMPIP (and any other qualied rerement plans) cannot exceed the lesser of your

• Possibly higher if you have at least 15 years of service with all United Methodist-related organizaons—call Wespath

contribuons to UMPIP [and any other 403(b) plans sponsored by your plan sponsor] cannot exceed your compensaon for
the 2020 plan year or $57,000, whichever is less.
For these limit purposes, compensaon does not include the value of any parsonage or housing allowance that is excluded
