Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 14:58:32 GMT

The Secure Act 2.0 legislation that passed late last year added new retirement savings options but also has a few potential catches for unsuspecting savers. Understanding these possible pitfalls may help you make better decisions, or at least be prepared for what’s to come.In my last column, I covered one set of these changes: new exceptions to the 10% federal penalty for tapping retirement money early. For this column, I’ll cover what you need to know about Secure 2.0’s changes to catch-up contributions and company matches for workplace plans.A POTENTIALLY PROBLEMATIC CATCH-UP PROVISIONCatch-up provisions have long allowed older workers to put more money into retirement plans.

But starting next year, people who earn $145,000 or more will ...
