You have 100% vested interest in your account once you are eligible for participation

Hardship withdrawals and loans are not permitted from the pension plan. Please contact the payroll department with any questions relating to the pension.

VOLUNTARY 403(b) RETIREMENT SAVINGS PLAN

To help prepare you for the future, AMIkids offers a 403(b) savings retirement plan through Fidelity Investments. This plan is 100% funded by you via PRE-TAX payroll deductions. AMIkids does not contribute to your 403(b) as it sponsors AMIkids Pension Plan (if you are an eligible participant).

Once you enroll directly with Fidelity Investments you must notify your Business Manager or the Benefits Specialist to begin payroll deductions. Per your contribution request, AMIkids will forward these deductions to Fidelity Investments.

With this plan, you can save a portion of your pay on a pre-tax basis (federal and most state income taxes are deferred on amounts contributed), up to $19,000 in 2019. Taxes are also deferred on your investment earnings within the plan.

An additional deferment is available to employees age 50 and over which must be made by December 31st. These employees can defer up to $6,000 in addition to their regular contribution amount, for a combined total contribution limit of $25,000 in 2019.

You are always 100% vested in your contributions!

Please contact Fidelity Investments with any questions relating to your 403(b).

WHEN CAN I START CONTRIBUTING?

You are eligible for the 403(b) so long as you’re working 30+ hours per week, you may start contributing immediately and you may sign up at anytime! To set up your account, contact Fidelity directly at 800-343-0860 using Group # 64688.
