Mandatory Roth catch-up

SECURE 2.0 Section 603 (for 401(k), 403(b), and governmental 457(b) plans that offer age 50 catch-up contributions)

What is it?

• Effective January 1, 2026, employees in plans that allow for catch-up contributions who made over $145,000 in FICA
compensation in the prior year must make any catch-up contributions as Roth.

• If your plan doesn’t offer Roth, you must either (1) add Roth, (2) remove the catch-up provision, or (3) certify you have
no one making more than $145,000 in FICA compensation for 2025.

• Payroll providers and recordkeepers expect an extremely large volume of activity at the end of 2025. In some

situations, 60 days are needed to make changes. Make an election now to avoid delays or possible corrections.

Don’t wait, add a Roth source now

• Add Roth early to avoid potential penalties.
