Eligibility and enrollment

To help you start saving for retirement right away, you are eligible to participate in the 401(k) plan as soon as administratively possible following your hire date.

You will be automatically enrolled in the J.M. Huber Corporation 401(k) Savings Plan 30 days after your date of hire, if you do not actively enroll sooner. At that time, 5% of your income will be invested in the Target Date Fund that most closely matches your expected retirement year, based on your date of birth.

If you do not want to participate or you would like to change your enrollment, such as increasing your contribution rate or making a different investment selection, visit the Voya Financial website or call 800-35-HUBER (800-354-8237).

Your Contributions

You may contribute between 1% and 75% of your eligible pay to your savings plan account, up to the annual IRS limits.

In 2024, the IRS limits allow you to contribute up to:

  • $23,000 if you are under age 50
  • $30,500 if you’re age 50 or older by the close of the current calendar year, which includes an additional $7,500 in catch-up contributions. (Once you hit the annual IRS limit, additional contributions will automatically re-characterize as catch-up contributions, up to the $30,500 limitNote: Catch-up contributions are not eligible for company matching.)

The above annual IRS limits include your pre-tax contributions, Roth after-tax contributions, or a combination of both.

Pre-tax vs. Roth after-tax: What’s the difference?

The J.M. Huber Corporation 401(k) Savings Plan gives you the flexibility to save for retirement in a variety of ways. You can make pre-tax contributions, Roth after-tax contributions, or a combination of the two.

Pre-tax contributions

The money goes into your account before taxes are deducted, so you keep more of your take-home pay. Then, you’ll owe taxes on both your contributions and any investment earnings when you withdraw your money in retirement (when you may be in a lower income tax bracket).

Roth after-tax contributions

The money goes into your account after taxes are withheld. Then, both your contributions and any associated earnings can be withdrawn tax-free in retirement.*

* In order for Roth earnings to be withdrawn tax-free, you must meet these two requirements:

  • At least five years have elapsed since your first Roth contribution.
  • You are at least 59½ or the withdrawal follows death or total disability.
Catch up!

It’s not too late to make up for lost time. If you’ll be 50 or older this year, take advantage of the opportunity to contribute up to an additional $7,500 in catch-up contributions, for a total of $30,500.

Boost your retirement income with HSA savings

If you’re enrolled in the Choice I or Choice II medical plan with a Health Savings Account (HSA), you can invest the money in your HSA to build long-term savings for retirement! An HSA gives you a tax-free way to pay for your future eligible health expenses, which saves you money and maximizes how much of your 401(k) or other retirement accounts can be used to support your lifestyle.

 

Company Contributions

To help you reach your retirement planning goals, Huber will also contribute to your account!

Company matching contributions

Huber matches 125% of your pre-tax and Roth after-tax contributions to the plan, up to 5% of your eligible pay, to support your retirement saving efforts. 

Here’s how the company match works: 

infographic contributions

*IMPORTANT: Company matching contributions are made on a after-tax basis and are only for the first 5% you contribute; above 5% there is no company match.

Meet the match!

Try to contribute at least 5% to take full advantage of the match — otherwise, you’re leaving free money on the table. Log in to your Voya Financial account to increase your contribution rate.

Non-elective company contributions

Following each plan year, Huber provides a tax-deferred annual non-elective contribution of 5% of your eligible pay. You are eligible to receive this contribution provided you have been employed for the 12-month continuous period ending on December 31 of the eligible plan year.

 

Vesting

Vesting refers to ownership of the money in your account. It’s another way of saying “how much of the money is yours to keep if you leave the company.” 

You are automatically 100% vested in your own contributions along with Huber’s matching contributions

Non-elective Company contributions are vested over time, based on the following schedule: 

Your years of service Your vested percentage
After 2 whole years 20%
After 3 whole years 50%
After 4 whole years 60%
100% after 5 whole years 100%
 

Investment Options

There are different types of investors, so the J.M. Huber Corporation 401(k) Savings Plan offers a variety of investment options that fall into two main categories: 

Core Funds

There are nine Core Funds representing a variety of asset classes, giving the “do-it-yourself” investor the flexibility to pick and manage their investment mix. 

Target Date Retirement Funds

There is an array of professionally managed Target Date Funds designed to match the “do-it-for-me” investor’s expected retirement timeframe. 

Take a closer look

It’s important to carefully consider your investment goals, retirement time frame, and risk tolerance when deciding how to invest your plan contributions. Learn more.

If you do not make an investment election:

You will be automatically enrolled in the Target Date Retirement Fund closest to your estimated date of retirement. The asset allocation strategy of each Target Date Fund generally becomes increasingly conservative as the fund approaches its target date and beyond. Your contribution will remain invested in the Plan’s default investment fund until you change your investment election.

Investment risks change over time as the underlying investment asset allocation changes. The investment is subject to the volatility of the financial markets, including equity and fixed-income investments in the US and abroad, and may be subject to risks associated with investing in high-yield, small-cap, commodity-linked, and foreign securities. Principal invested is not guaranteed at any time, including at or after the target dates.

 

Name a Beneficiary

It’s important to designate a beneficiary to receive the value of your J.M. Huber Corporation 401(k) Savings Plan account in case something happens to you. During enrollment is a good time to ensure all of your beneficiary information is up to date. Visit the Voya Financial website to add or update beneficiary information.

 

Withdrawals and Loans

The money in your account is intended as a long-term investment to help you prepare for your financial needs in retirement. However, under certain circumstances, you may be able to access money from your account before reaching retirement age. For more information, visit Voya’s website or call 800-35-HUBER (800-354-8237).

Loans

If you are an active employee of Huber, the loan feature allows you to borrow from your vested account balances in the J.M. Huber Corporation 401(k) Savings Plan and pay the loan back, with interest, through automatic payroll deductions. You cannot borrow from the Retirement or Rollover Retirement accounts, but the balances in these accounts will be used to calculate the maximum amount available for a loan.

You may borrow up to 50% of your vested account balance from a minimum amount of $1,000 to a maximum of $50,000 (reduced by the highest outstanding loan balance in the last 12 months including accrued interest on late loan payments). If you default on a loan, you will not be eligible for any future loans.

There are two types of loans available:

  • General loans can be used for any purpose and have terms of 12 to 57 months.
  • Residential loans can be used to purchase your principal residence only, and have terms of 2 to 177 months. Residential loans require a signed promissory note, Truth-In-Lending statement and appropriate documentation.
Withdrawals

There are two different types of withdrawals available:

  • Age 59½ withdrawal – Once you reach age 59½, you may withdraw money from your account without tax penalties. You'll pay regular income taxes on your pre-tax withdrawal amount (unless you roll it into another qualified plan or an IRA). Such a withdrawal may be made no more frequently than every six months. 
  • Hardship withdrawal – You may request a hardship withdrawal from your account if you experience a "financial hardship." Under IRS guidelines, a financial hardship exists only if you have insufficient cash or other liquid assets reasonably available to meet an immediate and heavy financial need. 

This kind of need includes: 

  • Costs directly related to the purchase of a principal residence for you, excluding mortgage payments.
  • Funds to prevent your eviction from, or foreclosure on the mortgage on, your principal residence.
  • Post-secondary tuition expenses and related educational expenses for you and your dependents for the next 12 months only.
  • Funds to obtain medical care or pay for medical expenses incurred by you, your spouse or dependent that would be deductible under the Internal Revenue Code (without regard to any deductible limit) which are not otherwise covered by insurance.
  • Payment for burial or funeral expenses for your deceased parent, spouse, children or dependents.
  • Expenses for the repair of damage to your principal residence that would qualify for the casualty deduction under Section 165 of the Internal Revenue Code without regard to whether the loss exceeds 10% of your Federal adjusted gross income or is attributable to a Federally-declared disaster.
  • Expenses and losses you incur on account of a Federally-declared disaster where your principal residence or principal place of employment is located in the area FEMA designates for individual assistance.

Note: Hardship distributions are subject to income taxes (unless they consist of Roth contributions). They may also be subject to a 10% additional tax on early distributions. Employees who take a hardship distribution can't repay it to the plan, or roll it over to another plan or an IRA. The withdrawal amount may not exceed the amount required to satisfy the hardship. The amount necessary to satisfy the financial need may include any amounts needed to pay any federal, state, or local income taxes or penalties that may result from the distribution.

Think before you act 

If you’re considering taking a loan or early withdrawal from your plan account, be sure to think about the impact it may have on your financial future.

  • Taking money from your account now may lead to a smaller savings balance when you retire.
  • Not only are you taking money away from your retirement savings, but also, the burden of repaying the loan may make it even harder to get back on track.
  • If you take a plan loan, you’ll also lose more money to taxes because the interest payments on your loan are made with money that has already been taxed, and it will be taxed again when withdrawn from your account.
  • If you withdraw pre-tax money from your plan account, in addition to paying current taxes on the money, you may have to pay an additional 10% penalty tax if you are younger than age 59½ (or, age 55 if you have retired or left the company).

Payment options

You are eligible to receive your benefit once your employment ends for any reason including retirement, disability, or death. If you’re not fully vested in all your accounts, you are only eligible to receive your vested amount. 

If you are requesting a distribution upon or after your retirement or other termination of employment with Huber, CP Kelco or any other participating affiliate, Voya Financial must receive formal notice from your employer confirming that you have terminated employment before the Plan can accept and process your request for a distribution. Any Distribution Request Voya Financial receives before it receives formal notice of your retirement or other termination of employment will not be treated as a valid election and you will need to submit a new Distribution Request. 

Balances less than $1,000 are automatically paid out 30 days following termination notification date. 

For balances greater than $1,000, you have several distribution options: 

  • Deferral of distribution until age 72, when Required Minimum Distributions (RMDs) begin (Note: If a participant turned 70.5 in 2024 they are still responsible for satisfying their RMD for 2024 and all future years, even if this is their first RMD and they chose to defer it to April 1, 2025)
  • Lump sum
  • Installments
  • Partial distributions
  • Annuity
  • Off-cycle (Partial) withdrawals
