401(k) Retirement PlanThe AFLC offers a 401(k) Retirement Savings Plan through “The Hartford” for all eligible employees. See AFLC Employee Enrollment Kit for details concerning participant eligibility. Contributions to a 401(k) plan are made with “pre-tax” dollars, grow tax-deferred during the accumulation phase and are taxed as ordinary income upon distribution in retirement. Because the AFLC Retirement Savings Plan is “denominationally sponsored” some portion of distributions received by Pastors in retirement will qualify for “housing allowance” and not be subject to ordinary income taxation. Pastors in a Retirement Savings Plan sponsored by a single church do not receive this same tax-favored treatment. Please contact your Certified Public Accountant or other tax professional for details regarding “housing allowance” for pastors.
Roth 401(k) Retirement PlanThe AFLC offers a ROTH 401(k) Retirement Savings Plan through "The Hartford" for all eleigible employees. See AFLC Employee Enrollment Kit for details concerning participant eligibility. Contributions to a ROTH 401(k) plan are made "after-tax" dollars and are limited to elective employee contributions. Employer metching contributions cannot be invested in a ROTH 410(k) account! Contributions into a ROTH 401(k) grow tax-deferred during the accumulation phase and carry no income tax liability if distributions begin after age 59 1/2. Please contact your Certified Public Accountant or other tax professional for details regarding whether such an account is appropriate for your individual situation.
