Overview
Retirement Program Change Highlights
On January 1, 2020, all employees started participating in a consistent company match and contribution arrangement in the SABIC U.S. Employee Retirement Savings Plan (the “Retirement Savings Plan”). This contribution structure includes a 50% company match on your contributions, up to the first 8% you contribute, along with an automatic 5% contribution from SABIC that is made regardless of your participation level. In addition, for those employees eligible for the SABIC Innovative Plastics Pension Plan (the “Pension Plan”), benefits stopped accruing in that plan on December 31, 2019 – this is commonly known as a “plan freeze.”
If you were hired on or after January 1, 2014, you are already eligible for this contribution structure in the Retirement Savings Plan. Therefore these changes did not affect you.
Also on January 1, 2020, the coverage level in the SABIC Basic Retiree Life Insurance Plan became $15,000. Please note that this change impacting retiree life insurance only impacts the Retiree Life Plan for Legacy Core employees and current Core retirees.
