Retirement Savings Plan
Veradigm cares about your financial well-being, which includes having the financial resources to enjoy life once you retire. When you join Veradigm, you are automatically enrolled in the Veradigm Retirement Savings Plan at 4% of your eligible pay. You can increase, decrease or suspend contributions at any time by logging in or by calling Charles Schwab at 800.724.7526.
Veradigm will match dollar-for-dollar up to the first 4% of your contributions. The plan recognizes base pay, bonuses, commissions and other forms of pay for matching purposes.
The way you invest in your retirement savings account is completely up to you—your contributions, Veradigm’s match, and any funds you roll over from another account can all be invested in our core portfolio of funds, target date funds that match the year you think you’ll retire, or even in a brokerage account you can set up.
How it works
Who is eligible
Regular full-time and part-time associates who are at least age 18 and working at least 20 hours per week.
Plan administrator
Charles Schwab
When you can enroll
You can enroll in the retirement savings plan within five days following your first paycheck and you will enter the plan on the first day of the month following your eligibility.
Automatic enrollment
If you don’t enroll within 30 days after you’re eligible to participate, Veradigm will enroll you automatically, at a pre-tax contribution rate of 4%. Your contributions will be invested in a T. Rowe Price Retirement Hybrid Trust Fund unless you select otherwise.
Annual savings adjustments
To make things even easier, the Plan offers savings adjustments to help you increase your savings rate—automatically. Go to workplace.schwab.com to enroll in automatic savings adjustments.
Contribution limits
You can contribute up to the IRS limits to your 401(k) and Roth 401(k) (combined) each year. For 2024:
- You will be able to contribute up to $23,000.
- If you are age 50 or older, you can make additional catch-up contributions of up to $7,500.
You can change your contributions to a higher or lower amount at any time during the year.
Your contributions
- Pre-tax You may contribute up to 70% of your eligible compensation on a pre-tax and/or Roth 401(k) basis each pay period. The IRS limits the amount you can contribute in a given year. Your total pre-tax and Roth 401(k) contributions cannot exceed the annual IRS limit. The limits are set annually and can be found at workplace.schwab.com.
- Roth 401(k) Your Plan allows you to make Roth 401(k) contributions. Your contribution will be withheld on an after-tax basis. Withdrawals of your contributions and any earnings will not be subject to taxes, provided that any distribution from this account occurs at least five years following the year you make your first Roth 401(k) contribution to the Plan and you have reached age 59½ or become disabled. As a reminder, your combined pre-tax and Roth 401(k) contributions cannot exceed Plan contribution limits or the annual IRS limit.
- Catch-up If you will be age 50 or older before December 31, you may be able to make additional catch-up contributions to the Plan. The IRS limits are set annually and can be found at workplace.schwab.com. Catch-up contributions may be made on a pre-tax and/or Roth 401(k) basis.
- After-tax You may contribute up to 70% of your eligible compensation after taxes each pay period not to exceed the annual IRS limit. You will not have to pay additional taxes upon withdrawing these contributions. Any earnings on after-tax contributions will be subject to ordinary income tax and, if taken prior to age 59½, a 10% federal tax penalty at withdrawal. This After-tax option does not qualify for the company match.
