§ 2-515. Maximum annual earnings.  


Latest version.
  • For plan years beginning on or after January 1, 1989, and before July 1, 1996, the annual compensation of each participant taken into account for determining all benefits provided under the plan for any determination period shall not include any amounts in excess of the annual compensation limit (originally $200,000.00) provided for in IRC § 401(a)(17) prior to Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1993 ("OBRA '93") and adjusted for inflation in the manner provided by IRC § 401(a)(17). For plan years beginning on or after July 1, 1996, the annual compensation of each employee taken into account shall not exceed the annual compensation limit provided for in IRC § 401(a)(17), as amended by the Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1993 ("OBRA '93") ($200,000 in 2002). This limit may be adjusted as required by federal law for qualified government plans and shall be further adjusted for inflation in the manner provided by IRC § 401(a)(17). Annual compensation means compensation during the plan year or such other consecutive 12-month period over which compensation is otherwise determined under the plan. The cost-of-living adjustment in effect for a calendar year applies to annual compensation for the determination period that begins with or within such calendar year.
