Flexible Spending Accounts (FSAs)
You can make before-tax contributions to two different Flexible Spending Accounts (FSAs) - the Health Care FSA and the Dependent Day Care FSA - to help pay for certain health care and dependent day care expenses using pretax money.
Contribute up to $5,000* on a tax-deferred basis in each account per benefit plan year to help pay for eligible health care and dependent day care expenses.
* $2,500 limit in the Dependent Day Care Flexible Spending Account if you are considered highly compensated for plan purposes

You can contribute a percentage of your eligible compensation as tax-deferred contributions, traditional after-tax contributions, Roth 401(k) contributions, or any combination of the three, up to annual IRS limits. If you are age 50 or older you can make additional contributions, up to IRS limits.
Northrop Grumman provides a company match, (depending on your business unit), based on a percentage of your eligible compensation and your contribution to the Plan. In certain cases, Northrop Grumman provides a company basic contribution in lieu of matching contributions, or a combination of both company basic and matching contributions.
In addition, eligible new hires (of certain business units) will receive an automatic company contribution of 3-5% of base pay per pay period, based on age, to a retirement account rather than participating in a pension program. This company contribution will be subject to a three-year vesting period.
