The Savings Age Catch Up Extension process identifies the employees who are age 50 or more and it creates Age-50 limit extension records that increase the 402(g) Savings Plan limits, the 457 Savings Plan limits, or both for elective deferrals as authorized by IRS regulations.
This process should be run prior to each payroll processing.
