Two Saver’s Match Resources Now Available
Retirement Clearinghouse LLC has launched two new Saver’s Match resources that offer plan sponsors, plan providers and participants consolidated information about the Saver’s Match, as well as a new saver-focused tool—the Saver’s Match Estimator—which will calculate an estimated matching contribution under the program.
For qualified retirement savers, the Saver’s Match will provide a federal matching contribution up to 50% of the first $2,000 of annual workplace retirement plan or individual retirement account contributions per individual, for a maximum matching contribution of $1,000 per tax year.
The Saver’s Match Estimator is designed to give an individual retirement saver an approximation of the size of a federal matching contribution they could receive under the new Saver’s Match program, set to go live in 2027. Eligible savers can qualify for a federal matching contribution based on their adjusted gross income, tax filing status and tax year contributions to a retirement savings account.
