The Plan is intended to help you put aside money for your retirement. However, your 403(b) Plan includes a feature that lets you borrow money from your account.
• The amount the Plan can loan to you is limited by rules under the Federal tax law. All loans will be limited to the lesser of: one-half of your vested account balance or $50,000.
• The minimum loan amount is $1,000.
• All loans must generally be repaid within five years unless used for the purchase of your principal residence.
Unpaid loan amounts will be taxed as ordinary income and may incur a 10% federal tax penalty if you are under age 59½.
Other requirements and limits must be met prior to borrowing money from your account. For additional information regarding loans, please see your financial advisor.
