2022 DC Elective Contributions
Active participants in the Defined Contribution Fund can add to their retirement nest egg by electing to have additional contributions made on your behalf for hours you are paid during 2022.
You may elect a contribution amount with a maximum of $20,500 contributed in 2022 and if you are 50 or older, you can also elect to have a "catch-up" contribution amount with a maximum of $6,500 contributed in 2022.
With this election, you would be committed to having elective contributions deducted from your gross pay for the entire calendar year, so you will want to consult with your financial/tax advisor prior to making an election.
Election period is from October 1st to November 30th.
Join the Better You Team for a live webinar to discuss the nutrition guidelines for cancer prevention to help reduce your cancer risk with your food choices. There isn't a single food or food component that can protect you from cancer by itself. But there is strong evidence that a diet filled with a variety of plant foods like vegetables, fruits, whole grains and beans can lower the risk for many cancers. You'll get some tasty recipes too!
Florida Blue is offering this webinar two different dates and times, so click on the date and time that works best for you to register. Please open and save the calendar invite from your confirmation email with your unique link to join so it's easy to attend.
