Historic Raises to the 401(k)

The IRS announced the largest ever increase of contribution limits on 401(k) accounts.

Key Details

  • The 401(k) maximum contribution limit will be raised $2,000—bringing the total to $22,500.
  • Changing the maximum contribution limit will allow more Americans to contribute additional savings to the tax-advantaged retirement account.
  • For those over 50, the catch-up contribution limit will also be raised, reaching $7,500. 
  • Contribution limits for individual retirement accounts are also set to increase to $6,500.

Why it’s news

The recently announced increase is the largest in the accounts’ history both in dollar amount and percentage. By allowing greater contributions, some Americans may be able to reduce their income taxes while saving additional funds for retirement. 

The changes to contribution limits will be effective next year. A report from Vanguard suggests that fewer than 15% of participants were able to max out their contributions last year. Only 16% of eligible participants were able to make catch-up contributions. 

Inflation is the main driver of these changes.

The PGA Tour is warning LIV Golf that it will seek a default order if the league does not  “timely” respond to counterclaims.

Key Details

  • This week, the PGA Tour has filed to California federal judge Beth Labson Freeman seeking a default order against LIV Golf-backer Public Investment Fund of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (PIF) and its governor Yasir Othman Al-Rumayyan if the league does not respond to counterclaims.
  • A default order would be a judgment in the PGA Tour’s favor and a game-changer in the case, according to Sportico writer Michael McCann.
  • The PGA Tour is suing LIV, PIF, and Al-Rumayyan for tortious interference claiming that they falsely informed PGA players that they could end their contracts without legal action.

Debt Ceiling Debate Heats Up

McCarthy asks to negotiate

Since reaching the debt ceiling in January, U.S. lawmakers have made little progress toward a solution—and House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) demands that change.

Key Details

  • This week McCarthy sent a letter to President Joe Biden, requesting that the White House and House Republicans begin negotiating a solution to the U.S. debt limit.
  • McCarthy’s letter suggested spending cuts and regulatory changes to start negotiations. 
  • President Biden and McCarthy have not met to discuss the debt ceiling since February 1, Bloomberg reports. 
  • “With each passing day, I am incredibly concerned that you are putting an already fragile economy in jeopardy by insisting upon your extreme position of refusing to negotiate any meaningful changes to out-of-control spending alongside an increase of the debt limit,” McCarthy says in the letter.
  • The White House quickly responded to McCarthy’s letter, saying that the House Republicans must raise the debt ceiling without imposing any conditions. It also asked that the GOP provide a full budget proposal.
