Union Plus Credit Card Program: Celebrating 30th Anniversary With Sweepstakes Offer
In celebration of the 30th Anniversary of Union Plus and the Union Plus Credit Card program, Capital One has planned a substantial sweepstakes campaign around rewarding the approximately one million cardholders and members of unions that participate in the card program. It’s the program’s first campaign aimed at cardholders since Capital One has been the program provider.
The sweepstakes runs Oct. 10, 2016, to Dec. 31, 2016, and is open to any Union Plus cardholder or non-cardholders who belong to a union that participates in the Union Plus Credit Card program.
At the September 2016 Liaison Lunch and Learn, many of you asked for materials to help you promote the Sweeps to your members. For more information, please click here.
Cambridge Corner: Roth TSP
Participants who have traditional (non-Roth) contributions in their TSP accounts have not yet paid taxes on both the contributions and the accrued earnings. Taxes will be owed on contributions and earnings when a payment is made from a participant’s account. A participant may continue to defer payment of taxes by transferring or rolling over the payment from a traditional TSP account to a traditional IRA, or an eligible employer plan, such as a 401(k) or 403(b) retirement plan.
Participants who made Roth contributions to their Roth TSP account have already paid taxes on those contributions. A participant with Roth contributions will not pay tax on those contributions when they are withdrawn from a Roth TSP account. The tax treatment of earnings depends on whether the payment is a “qualified distribution”, which means that the entire payment from a Roth account is tax-free.
The earnings in a Roth TSP account become qualified and therefore completely tax-free, when the following two conditions have been met:
- Five years have passed since Jan. 1 of the calendar year in which the Roth TSP participant made his or her first contribution (referred to as the “five year rule”); and;
- The Roth TSP participant has reached age 59.5, has a permanent disability, or died. Note that a spousal beneficiary of a Roth TSP account may request a qualified distribution when five years have passed since Jan. 1 of the calendar year in which the deceased Roth TSP participant made his or her first Roth contribution to the account.
