Order #155631 09/01/2014
Rev. 03/2012
Type of
Agreement
This agreement must be completed to enroll in the Plan, to make changes to an existing Salary Reduction Agreement or to
modify the amount of your deferral.
Employees who are employed by multiple 403(b) eligible agencies have the option to select which eligible agency(ies) and
corresponding job(s) their 403(b) Plan deferrals will be taken from. Therefore, all employees participating in the State of
Connecticut 403(b) Plan must provide their employee record number. Note that your employee record number is different from
your employee number. If you do not know your employee record number, you must contact your agency human resource or
payroll department in order to obtain the appropriate employee record number which corresponds to the job from which the Plan
deferrals will be taken. Forms will be returned if the employee record number is missing. If you are electing 403(b) deferrals
from more than one eligible agency and/or job, you must complete a separate Salary Reduction Agreement for each eligible
agency and/or job selected.
Deferral
Amount
Complete this section only if you are enrolling or changing your deferral amount (including electing to make Age 50+ Catch-up
contributions). Any amounts deferred must be made through payroll deductions from future compensation only.
Consult with your Plan Voya Registered Representative (Registered Representative) regarding restrictions that may apply if you
participate in any other salary reduction plan, such as a Roth 403(b) plan, a 457 plan and/or a 401(k) plan.
Unless you specifically elect and use the Age 50+ Catch-up option, the maximum amount you can defer in any calendar year is
the amount specified under Section 402(g) of the Internal Revenue Code (as adjusted for cost of living). If you are making both
403(b) and Roth 403(b) Plan contributions, your aggregate contributions cannot exceed the maximum annual limit. Your
Registered Representative can help establish the limitation applicable to your individual situation; however, it is ultimately your
responsibility to assure that you do not defer more than is allowed in any calendar year.
The effective check date of any enrollment or change of deferral amount is the date indicated or the earliest date thereafter
consistent with the Administrator’s processing requirements and the provisions set forth in Section 403(b) of the Internal
Revenue Code.
Catch-Up
Contribution
Election
The Age 50+ Catch-up contribution is available to those participants who are or will be at least age 50 by December 31
st
and
who have elected to defer the maximum amount under Section 402(g) of the Internal Revenue Code, as adjusted for cost-of-
living.
