Thinking about ways to strengthen your benefits package this year? You might want to consider a newer 401(k) feature, the student loan match. This feature, added under the SECURE 2.0 Act, can help employees pay down debt and save for retirement at the same time.

Here’s a quick breakdown of how it works and why it matters.

📌 What it is: Employers can now match an employee’s student loan payments up to a designated amount with a retirement contribution, even if the employee isn’t contributing to their 401(k).

📌 How it works: Employees provide proof of their loan payments, and employers deposit a matching amount into their retirement plan.

📌 Who it benefits: Anyone managing federal or private student loans, including employees paying for their spouse’s or dependent’s eligible loans.

📌 Why it helps retention: Offering this match reduces financial stress and gives employees a way to build savings they would otherwise miss, making your benefits package both more competitive and supportive.

If you have questions about your current benefits strategy, don’t hesitate to reach out. We’re here for you and your team.
