1) steps to implementing the Roth 401(k) Ameritas Life Insurance Corp. of New York RP 1030 NY 11-15 For Financial Professional and Plan Sponsor Use Only.

2) We’re here to help you. Now that you’ve made the decision to offer the Roth 401(k) feature to your plan participants, here are a few things you need to consider. 1.  eview your payroll system to be sure it has R the capability to calculate both pre-tax salary deferrals and after-tax Roth contributions or a combination of both. The recordkeeping system will need to store this information in order to provide an accurate account of the amount of each type of contribution for year-end IRS Form W-2 reporting. 2.  e sure to enter the participant’s traditional preB tax salary deferral and Roth after-tax deferrals under the correct source on our deposit website. This is critical because our participant reporting segregates Roth contributions from pre-tax contributions on all participant correspondence and statement reporting, as required by IRS regulation. 4.  omplete and sign the Roth 401(k) Amendment C provided to you. This must be executed prior to the implementation of the Roth feature. Upon request, we can provide a sample “Certificate of Resolution” to document your formal adoption of the Roth feature. Information explaining the Roth after-tax contribution feature is provided in the employee enrollment booklet. The enrollment form allows participants to enter the percentage split between their Roth and traditional pre-tax salary deferral contribution election. The following chart is an overview of the Roth, the traditional 401(k), and the Roth IRA. If you have any questions, please contact your financial professional or your client services representative at 866-816-0561. 3.  hile Roth contributions are eligible for employer W matching contributions as well as Safe Harbor match, this match contribution must be credited to a pre-tax account and cannot be credited to the Roth account.
