Annual employer contributions
Legacy’s annual contribution to your retirement account is one of the most valuable benefits in your Legacy Total Rewards program. Maintaining a competitive retirement program (meaning it is as good or better than programs offered by similar health care organizations) is critical. It rewards you for your work and helps you build your retirement savings.
On April 1, 2026, Legacy made the most recent contribution to the retirement program: $33,283,246.62 in 401(a) Employer Match funds and $56,057,553.21 in Employer Contribution Account funds – a grand total of $89,340,799.83. These amounts are Legacy’s contributions only and do not include any of the funds employees personally contributed to their Legacy retirement accounts.
The Legacy contribution to your account is based on your years of service as of December 31, 2025:
| Years of service | Employer Contribution Account | 401(a) Employer Match | Total Legacy contribution |
|---|---|---|---|
| 0 | 2.5 | 0 | 2.5 |
| 1-5 | 2.5 | 2.5 | 5.0 |
| 6-9 | 4.0 | 2.5 | 6.5 |
| 10 | 4.0 | 3.0 | 7.0 |
| 11-15 | 5.0 | 3.0 | 8.0 |
| 16-20 | 6.0 | 3.5 | 9.5 |
| 21+ | 7.0 | 3.5 | 10.5 |
Employer Contribution Account
Contributions to the Employer Contribution Account are earned automatically if you’re in an eligible position and work at least 1,000 hours in a payroll calendar year. You have 100% ownership of Legacy’s contributions to your account after three years of vesting service.
401(a) Employer Match
Contributions to the 401(a) Employer Match are based on your individual contributions to your 403(b) Savings Plan, whether you worked at least 1,000 hours in a payroll calendar year and how long you have been employed at Legacy (meaning that the longer you’re employed, the higher your Legacy contribution percentage will be).
You gain ownership of Legacy’s contributions to your account gradually with each year of vesting service. Each year you meet the eligibility standards: you earn 20% ownership of the contributions. After five years you will have 100% ownership of Legacy’s matching contributions.
