January 2008

 

One More New Year's Resolution

The start of a new year is a great time to make a resolution about your financial health by saving more for retirement. No matter who you are, saving more is a good idea. Consider increasing your contributions to the AHRP Plan now. In fact, if you want to save the maximum possible, read more about the IRS deferral limits below.
 


DEFERRAL LIMITS UNCHANGED FOR 2008

The IRS deferral limits remain unchanged for 2008. These limits apply to total contributions you make to your pre-tax [AHRP 403(b)] and/or after tax [Roth 403(b)] retirement plans as well as contributions made to similar commercial plans. AHRP contribution rate changes can be made through the AHRP Web site http://AHRP.com or by calling the AHRP Retirement Center at 1 (800) 730-2477.

Annual deferral limit for those under age 50 by year end:        $15,500
Annual deferral limit for those age 50 and above by year end: $20,500

2007 Employer Contributions

Following the end of each calendar year, a calculation is made to determine the employer basic and matching contributions for the year just ended. These contributions are typically added to your AHRP account during the latter part of January (following year-end). You will be able to observe an increase to your account balance at that time.

If you were eligible to receive employer basic and matching benefits for 2007, your AHRP Account Statement for the quarter ending March 31, 2008 will include these contributions.

 

 

2008 Interest Rates

AHRP Capital Preservation Account
The 2008 guaranteed interest rate for the AHRP Capital Preservation Account is 5.20%. This represents a 0.05% decrease from the credited rate of 5.25% during 2007.

AHRP Loans
The interest rate on AHRP loans is tied to the yield on the AHRP Capital Preservation Account at the time the loan commences. New loans taken during 2008 will have an interest rate of 5.20%
 

 

I guess I should warn you, if I turn out to be particularly clear,
you've probably misunderstood what I've said. - Alan Greenspan
