The 401(k) plan is a great place to start building long-term financial security.

Eligibility

You are immediately eligible to participate in the Plan if you are at least 21 years of age and part of an eligible group of employees as defined by the Plan. Refer to the Summary Plan Description for detailed information.

Your contributions

You can contribute from 1% to 75% of your eligible pay as pre-tax or Roth contributions, or a combination, up to the annual IRS dollar limits.

A Roth contribution to your Plan allows you to make after-tax contributions and take any associated earnings completely tax-free at retirement, as long as the distribution is a qualified one. A qualified distribution, in this case, is one that is taken at least five tax years after your first Roth 401(k) contribution and after you have attained age 59½, or become disabled or die.

The maximum contribution you can make to your 401(k) Plan in 2024 is $23,000.

If you are age 50 or older in 2024 and are making the maximum plan or IRS contribution, you can make an additional $7,500 “catch-up” contribution in 2024.

Company matching contributions

Albertsons Companies may make an annual discretionary matching contribution to your Plan account. You may receive a percentage of each dollar you contribute up to 7% of eligible pay. Details are provided each year.

You are eligible to receive the matching contribution after completing 1000 hours of service as of your one-year anniversary or as of the end of the next plan year. You must also be employed at the end of each plan year. Some exceptions apply; refer to the Summary Plan Description (SPD) for details.

Only contributions made AFTER meeting match requirements are eligible to receive a match contribution.

Company match example

Here’s an example of how the 2023 Company match worked if your eligible pay was $50,000 in 2023 and you met the eligibility requirements to receive the Company match. The table below shows the Company match dollars you received and the Company match dollars you missed out on based on contributing between 0% and 7% of your eligible pay.
