for the catch-up contribution for employees over 50). This will help prevent a possible over-deferral for the 2021 tax year. In addition, before the end of the year, OSGP will run an audit report for employees who contribute to both the Roth 457 IRA and the
traditional 457 deferred comp. They will look for employees with combined contributions that may exceed the maximum for the tax year.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
