note: the limits considered would be for the respective tax year, so 2020 retro for 2020 limits ect not the current year.
Thank you -- and yes, good points to remember if it gets approved!

This makes no sense at all.

If it’s like Delta’s, it’s not back pay, but current year earnings, so taxable for the year in which it is paid and only eligible as elective contribution like any other pay.


The only thing you have to factor in is that the 2023 portion of the signing bonus is pensionable. So, if you normally plan on a certain amount to meet the 415c limit, you will have to make an adjustment.

You can be all those things you mentioned while being a CA or an FO, and those categories you mentioned such as line holder vs reserve etc can all affect you differently based on that. It makes sense to me 🤷🏻‍♂️

what happens if you maxed everything ?
your 16% contributions from retro pay for 2023 goes to VEBA account ?

that’s what I think will happen if we get our retro by 12/1/2023

There's language in the AIP that might apply to this situation.

"
"Cap RHA spillage due to 401(a)(17) at $10,000, above that amount paid as cash. Only applies until Market-Based Cash Balance Plan (MBCBP) is started".

We'll know when the TA is released.

The MPCBP wont be done in time for the retro--if you've already maxxed, either by hitting the 415c limit or already earning $330k+, it will be spilled into the VEBA. That assumes the retro will be paid this year, which is probably pretty likely.

i guess that will be in the language details. Retro payments are almost always taxable in the current year but if any pensionable amounts are allowed, the IRS requires that those funds be allocated based on the years for which they’re they based on. If no pensionable amounts for 20,21,22 then it’s a non issue

The language is already there. It’s just a signing bonus. Company PRAP contributions will be paid on the 2023 amount. The other 20xx numbers are there just for computational purposes—it’s not “retro” pay in the IRS sense. You may do whatever you want with it as far as the PRAP/VEBA goes, but it will be subject to the limits in the year that it is paid, which will likely be 2023.
