401K limit applies if I changed jobs during the calendar year?

401k
QP asked:

I have recently changed jobs and would like to know if the annual limit still applies to my 401K.

For example, year to date I’ve contributed $10K to my previous employer’s 401K plan. Does this mea my 401K contribution for the year with the new employer should be less than 5.5K?

Thanks!

Hi all! My son’s girlfriend is only 19 and her company has a 401k program. She was told that she can not contribute until she is 21. They live in Illinois. Does anyone know if there are age restrictions on beginning a 401K?

Thanks in advance for your answers!
