Planning for your retirement is important whatever your age. The Clearinghouse's 401(k) savings plan provides you with the opportunity and resources necessary to ensure a secure financial future for yourself and your family. All regular 401(k) investment contributions are taken from paychecks before taxes are applied.
In addition to the regular 401(k), employees may choose to participate in the Roth 401(k). Deductions are taken on an after tax basis.
Employees choose from available investment selections. Plan contributions and risks are solely the responsibility of the employee. All employees who are at least 21 years old are eligible to participate on their first day of employment and may contribute up to the IRS maximum allowable contribution. An additional catch-up program within the IRS guidelines is available for employees over 50 years of age. The money you contribute to the plan is 100% vested (owned unconditionally by you) upon deposit.
The plans provide for company matching contributions. Clearinghouse management and the board of directors determine the matching contribution amount. Currently, the match is $2.00 for every $1.00 of deferral up to 5% for a total of 10% match if the employee defers 5%. The money contributed by the Clearinghouse will follow a separate vesting schedule of 25% per year. Thus, after completion of one year of service, you are 25% vested; after completion of two years of service, you are 50% vested; after completion of three years, you are 75% vested. You are 100% vested after completion of four years of service.
