SUNY VOLUNTARY SAVINGS PLANS - 2022

2022 SUNY Voluntary Savings Plan

The State University of New York provides employees with the opportunity to save for their retirement through the SUNY Voluntary 403(b) Plan and the NYS Deferred Compensation Plan.

Participating in a voluntary savings plan is a great way to build your retirement savings and allows for retirement savings on a pre- and post-tax basis.

For 2022, you may contribute up to $20,500 per year to either a 403(b) or a 457(b) account, or to each. If you are age 50 or older any time during 2022, you can contribute an additional $6,500 to either type of plan, for a maximum of $27,000 per year. Because 403(b) and 457(b) plans are governed by different sections of IRS Code, employees may contribute to both plans concurrently.
