Employee contributions
All eligible employees can make pretax contributions to the plan immediately. Through payroll deduction, your plan allows you to make pretax contributions up to the maximum IRS contribution limit.
If you have an existing qualified retirement plan (after-tax) or 403(b) tax-deferred arrangement account with a prior employer, you can transfer or roll over that account into the plan on becoming a participant in the plan.
Important considerations before deciding to move funds either into or out of a Corebridge Retirement Services account
There are many things to consider. For starters, you will want to carefully review and compare your existing account and the new account, including: fees and charges; guarantees and benefits; and, any limitations under either of the accounts. Also, you will want to know whether a surrender of your current account could result in charges. Your financial professional can help you review these and other important considerations. Consult a tax professional before making a decision to move funds either into or out of a Corebridge account.
Stop or change contributions
You may stop your contributions anytime. Once you discontinue contributions, you may only start again as provided under the terms of the plan.
You can increase or decrease the amount of your contributions anytime.
Employer contributions
The plan also provides for AnMed Health to make contributions.
- AnMed Health will make employer basic contributions to the AnMed Health 401(a) plan.
- AnMed Health will also make matching contributions equal to 25% of your pretax contributions up to 4% of eligible compensation.
Vesting
Vesting is a participant’s right of ownership to the money in his or her plan account. You are always 100% vested in employee contributions, rollover contributions, match contributions plus any earnings they generate.
Employer basic contributions to the plan, plus any earnings they generate, are vested as follows:
Vesting schedule
| Years of vesting service | Vesting percentage |
|---|---|
| Less than 3 | 0% |
| 3 or more | 100% |
Employer matching contributions to the plan, plus any earnings they generate, are fully and immediately vested.
Accessing your money before retirement

- Age 70 ½ if you were born before July 1, 1949.
Hardship withdrawals
If you have an immediate financial need created by severe hardship and you lack other reasonably available resources to meet that need, you may be eligible to receive a hardship withdrawal. In both plans, hardships are permitted for the benefit of the primary beneficiary. A hardship may include:
- Purchase of a principal residence
- College tuition and approved related expenses for you, your spouse or dependents
- Non-reimbursable medical and/or dental expenses for you, your spouse or dependents
- Payment to prevent eviction from or foreclosure on your principal residence
- Payment for burial or funeral expenses for your deceased parent, spouse or children
- Payment for expenses for the repair of your principal residence
The 403(b) plan permits hardship withdrawals from the salary deferral account. The 401(a) plan permits hardship withdrawals from the employer matching account.
If you feel you are facing a financial hardship, you should see your financial professional for more details.
