Retirement Benefits Retirement Benefits
The Company sponsors a tax-qualified defined contribution retirement plan for substantially all of its associates within the U.S. Participation is available to associates who meet certain age and service requirements. The qualified plan permits participating associates to elect contributions up to the maximum limits allowable under the Internal Revenue Code. The Company matches associate contributions according to a predetermined formula and contributes additional amounts based on a percentage of the associates’ eligible annual compensation and years of service. Associate contributions and Company matching contributions vest immediately. Additional Company contributions and the related investment earnings are subject to vesting based on years of service. Total expense recognized related to the qualified plan was $38 million for 2021, $37 million for 2020 and $36 million for 2019.
The Company previously sponsored a non-qualified supplemental retirement plan. The non-qualified plan was an unfunded plan, which provided benefits beyond the Internal Revenue Code limits for qualified defined contribution plans. On June 27, 2020, the Human Capital and Compensation Committee of the Board authorized the termination of the non-qualified plan, after which time only certain contributions were permitted to be made based on eligible earnings prior to the termination date. In July 2021, the Company made payments of $143 million in the aggregate for the final settlement of all its obligations and benefits payable under the non-qualified plan. Total expense recognized related to the non-qualified plan was not significant for any period presented.
