Contribution Limits - No Change

KRS 121.150(6) and (10) provide for certain contribution limits to be indexed for inflation every odd-numbered year using the preceding year's percent increase in the non-seasonally adjusted annual average Consumer Price Index for all Urban Consumers (CPI-U), U.S. City Average, All Items, as published by the United States Bureau of Labor Statistics and rounded to the nearest hundred dollars. Based on the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics' determination that there was a 1.2 percent increase in the All Items Index over the last 12 months, the Registry has calculated that there will be no change to the contribution limits this year.
