Section 109 of the SECURE Act 2.0 provides higher catch-up limits
for employer sponsored retirement plan participants ages 60-63


The Minnesota Deferred Compensation 457(b) Plan (MNDCP)
will adopt this provision effective January 1, 2025

About Catch-Up Contributions

Currently, retirement plan participants turning age 50 and over in the calendar year can contribute an additional $7,500 to their retirement plan account. 

In 2024, the contribution limit is $23,000 and the age 50 and over catch-up contribution is $7,500. This means an active plan participant age 50 and over can contribute a total of $30,500.

Effective January 1, 2025, retirement plan participants turning ages 60, 61, 62 or 63 in the calendar year can contribute an additional $11,250 to their retirement plan account.

Building off the example above, assuming the same limits for 2025, an active plan participant age 60-63 can contribute an additional $11,250 for a total of $34,250 in 2025.

Contribution Limit Monitoring

State Payroll and the MSRS Payroll team will continue to monitor employee contribution limits throughout the calendar year of any employee who exceeds the limits.
