The annual limit for single taxpayers is $10,500 (up from $5,000). Married individuals filing separately will have an annual limit of $5,250 (up from $2,500).

Employers who want to allow employees to make new elections up to the new maximum will need to amend their plans. Employees should be notified as soon as the decision is made. This will allow them time to make their decision to spread the higher contribution amount over as many pay periods as possible.
