NATRIP
Supplemental Retirement Plan |
|
The interest rate is 2.00% on all
contributions received by
June 24, 2023. |
|
Independent Plan Coordinators, Inc. (IPC), located in
Virginia Beach, VA, administers the National Association
of Tax Reducing Income Plan (NATRIP) Supplemental Retirement Plan. The
NATRIP Plan allows you to voluntarily establish your own Individual Retirement Account
(IRA: Traditional or Roth) and/or Non-Qualified Tax-Deferred Annuity Account. As a NATRIP Participant, your contributions are placed with the Lincoln National
Life Insurance Company at the then quarterly prevailing interest rate, currently
2.00%. There is no minimum contribution amount and no
administration fees are assessed. Participants receive quarterly
statements.
Lincoln National Life Insurance Company has a history of outstanding investment
performance and is a leader in the industry with over 100 years of experience,
assuring us of both expertise and unquestioned reliability. Lincoln
National Life Insurance Company's financial strength is rated "A" by A.M. Best
and gives Lincoln National Life Insurance Company a ranking of "Excellent". These
ratings reflect claims paying ability but are not a guarantee of future
performance. The Lincoln Financial Group had $292 billion in assets under
management as of June 30, 2022.
(A.M. Best is a global full-service credit rating agency
dedicated to serving the financial and health-care service
industries. It began assigning credit ratings in 1906.
A.M. Best's ratings are independent opinions regarding the

10-year
Historical Product Performance - Single Contribution |
IPC has been helping individuals plan for their retirement
for over 35 years! In that time, individuals have used many
methods of funding their retirement including rolling over
their 401(k) and/or using inherited monies or a Certificate
Deposit in a single contribution. These individuals
appreciate the fact that there are no administrative or
other fees which results in their entire original principal
contribution earning interest. Additionally, through
our partnership with Sage Scholars since January 2010, these
individuals have also earned Tuition Rewards points that can
be redeemed as tuition discounts at hundreds of
participating private four-year colleges and universities.
(More details on the Tuition
Rewards Program is below.) |

Actual examples of single contributions made on January 2, 2013
and how that contribution performed over the next 10 years

The program interest rates
fluctuate based upon the interest rate environment and that
the 10 year analysis from January 2, 2013 through
December 31, 2022 reflected above is no guarantee of future performance.
It is also important to note, however, that there is a contractual
minimum guarantee rate of 1.5%. |

10-year
Historical Product Performance - Monthly Contribution |
Another method of building retirement funds is the "pay yourself
first" system which has been very successful for many individuals
who contribute automatically from their paycheck on a
monthly basis. They have set up this automatic
contribution from their paycheck so that they don't utilize
their retirement savings for discretionary purchases.
In other words, "pay yourself first" removes the temptation
to skip a month's retirement account contribution and
therefore the risk that the funds will be spent on something
else. |
|
We receive contributions each month from these individuals and
fund their accounts at the program's prevailing quarterly
interest rate. Because there is no mandatory
minimum contribution amount, some of our participants have
been doing this for many years by contributing only $50 per
month. Additionally, through our partnership with Sage
Scholars since January 2010, these individuals have also
earned Tuition Rewards points that can be redeemed as
tuition discounts at hundreds of
participating private four-year colleges and universities.

Rewards Program is below.) |

Available
Account Types |
Participants may choose IRA accounts
and/or Non-Qualified Tax-Deferred Annuities. For
IRAs, Traditional IRAs and Roth IRAs are available.
The maximum contribution amount for the 2023 tax year is
limited to 100% of earned income up to $13,000 for joint
filers (up to $6,500 each) and $6,500 for singles. Participants
age 50 or older during the tax year may contribute an
additional $1,000. This is a combined maximum for all
Traditional and Roth IRAs you hold.
|
|
TRADITIONAL IRA
- All or part of
your contributions may be deductible. The determining
factors for deductibility are the income restrictions and
eligibility to participate in an employer-sponsored
qualified retirement plan. |
|
ROTH IRA
- Contributions
are non-deductible. Earnings, however, are tax-free
provided the account has been open at least five tax years
and you are at least 591/2
when you
begin withdrawals. The availability of this type of IRA is
phased out according to your Adjusted Gross Income.
Please refer to the IRS website for contribution limits on
Roth IRAs. |
|
IRA contributions can be made for tax year
2022 until April 15, 2023 or until your 2022 tax return is
filed (excluding filing extensions). If any portion of your
Traditional IRA contribution is non-deductible, you must
file Form 8606 with your tax return. IPC can provide more
details on deductibility upon request.
Under the Supplemental Retirement Plan you
may roll over your accumulated balance in a qualified
retirement plan into a Traditional IRA without tax
consequences. You may also transfer or roll over a
Traditional IRA into another Traditional IRA, or a Roth IRA.
You may transfer a Roth IRA to another Roth IRA. You
should be certain that you understand the tax consequences
before executing any transfer.
Minimum required distributions (MRDs) for Traditional IRAs must begin
at age 70 1/2 if you reached that age by December 31, 2019,
or age 72 if you reached that age after January 1, 2021.
MRDs must begin by April 1 of the
year following the year in which you attain MRD age.
If you wait until that year, your second MRD is due by
December 31. For Roth IRAs there is no age requirement for
withdrawals. |
|
NON-QUALIFIED TAX-DEFERRED ANNUITY -
If you wish to
make contributions greater than those permitted under IRA
regulations, or if you are not eligible to establish a
deductible IRA, you may want to participate in the
Non-Qualified Deferred Annuity portion of the Supplemental
Retirement Plan and have all of the advantages of this
tax-deferred annuity plan for your retirement planning.
There are no limitations on contributions. You may
contribute as much as you wish at any time.
Contributions are not tax deductible. However, interest
earnings will accumulate on a tax-deferred basis, that is,
no taxes will be assessed until earnings are withdrawn.
Withdrawals are processed from interest first (IRS
Regulations). IRS reporting requirements do not oblige
you to indicate contributions to or current interest
earnings on a Non-Qualified Deferred Annuity on your Form
1040 (done at time of withdrawal). There are no
maximum age limitations for contributions or withdrawals. |

Interest Rates |
The interest rate is 2.00% on all contributions received
by June 24, 2023. Second quarter 2023
contributions will receive this interest rate upon receipt
of your contribution by Lincoln National Life through
December 31, 2023. For contributions received after
June 24, 2023, an interest rate will be declared each
quarter and contributions received and credited during a
particular quarter will receive that interest rate until
December 31, 2023. All 2023 contributions credited in the
second quarter are guaranteed
to receive no less than 1.50% through December 31, 2023.
Each lump sum contribution of $10,000 or more per
participant that you make in 2023 will be credited
with an additional .10% for 2023.
Participants with total a plan value of $100,000 or more,
will earn an additional .10% over the above rates on their
balances from the 2004 contribution year through the current
year. (Please note that balances from contribution years
2003 and prior do not receive the bonus, however the
balances from contribution years 2003 and prior are included
in calculating the total plan value.) This bonus of .10%
is calculated using balances as of January 1st and
July 1st of each year and the bonus is subject to change at
any time.
Your
principal and earned interest are guaranteed by Lincoln
National Life Insurance Company and is based on continued
claims paying ability of Lincoln National Life Insurance
Company. |
|
Withdrawals |
Withdrawals are processed as of the 15 th
and last
calendar day of the month,
for forms
received 5 business days prior to the withdrawal date
in good order.
You may request withdrawal forms from IPC via calling (800)
368-3515 or you can download them from our website. |
|
Premature
Distributions |
Generally, distributions received prior to
age 59 1/2
that are not due to death, disability, transfer or rollover
are subject to a 10% IRS Penalty Tax as follows: (1)
Traditional IRA - on the full amount withdrawn; (2)
Non-Qualified Deferred Annuity - on interest earnings only;
(3) Roth IRA – some withdrawals may be penalty-free and some
may even be tax-free. However, the combination of several
factors, including your age and whether the account has been
open at least five tax years will affect the taxability.
Consult your tax advisor for more details. |
|
There is a 5% surrender charge associated with withdrawals (including
transfers and rollovers) if you have been a Plan Participant
for less than 5 years under the Lincoln National Life
contract. The surrender charge drops to 4% in year 6;
3% in year 7; 2% in year 8; and 1% in year 9. This
surrender charge will not be assessed at all if the
Participant is (1) 59 1/2
and
retired or (2)
disabled or (3) deceased. Please note that the
surrender charge is completely eliminated after year 10.
Please also note that your first entry date into the Plan is
what is used to determine the surrender change.
|
|
Enhanced Plan
Features |
You may withdraw up to 50% of your
accumulated interest earnings once per year without
surrender charge. Each lump sum contribution of $10,000 or
more per participant that you make in 2023 will be credited
with an additional .10% for 2023. These features are subject
to change. |

Tuition
Rewards |
Independent Plan Coordinators, Inc. (IPC) has partnered with SAGE Scholars to
offer a college savings program to its Supplemental Retirement Plan (SRP)
participants called Tuition Rewards. SRP Participants will now have the opportunity to
earn Tuition Reward points, similar to other popular rewards programs, which can
be redeemed as tuition discounts at hundreds of
participating private four-year colleges and universities.
There is no limit as to how many student family members an SRP participant may
sponsor. For example, a grandparent can sponsor all of his/her
grandchildren, grandnieces and grandnephews.
SRP Participants who enroll
will earn Tuition Reward points equaling 1.25% of the
combined asset balances in their IRA and/or Non-Qualified
Tax-Deferred Annuity accounts on a quarterly basis. Every
Tuition Reward point can be redeemed for $1.00 in tuition
reduction at participating colleges. These guaranteed
minimum scholarships are capped at one full year of tuition,
spread evenly over four years. Room and board is not
included; a college's normal admissions standards apply.
The program is limited to
participating four-year private
colleges and universities.

Tuition Rewards works in more detail.
