Loan Repayment Summary
The repayment terms for paying a loan from your Marsh & McLennan Companies 401(k) Savings & Investment Plan account are listed below.
  • Loan repayments, including principal and interest, begin on the next available payroll period depending upon when you applied for the loan.
  • You repay your loan through payroll deductions. Your loan repayments, including principal and interest, are credited directly to your Plan account.
  • If you are on an unpaid leave of absence, on Long Term Disability, or transfer to a non-participating company, you must repay the loan during the period of your absence or with a non-participating company (i) in the form of a partial prepayment or lump sum payment in a single certified check, cashier's check, or money order or (ii) continue monthly payments using coupon payments or an electronic payment method (Automated Clearing House) in accordance with your current loan repayment schedule, with such payments completed no later than the original due date of the loan.
  • You can repay your entire outstanding loan balance in full without penalty at any time via Automated Clearing House (ACH) or with a single certified check, cashier's check or money order.
  • You can make partial prepayments toward paying off your loan.
  • If you terminate employment with an outstanding loan balance, any outstanding loan balance that is not repaid will be in Default. You may voluntarily pay off the entire unpaid principal balance of the loan, and all interest owing thereon, either: (i) in the form of a lump sum payment upon your termination of employment in a single certified check, cashier's check, or money order or (ii) leave your entire account balance in the Plan and request to continue monthly payments using coupon payments or an electronic payment method (Automated Clearing House) in accordance with your current loan repayment schedule, with such payments completed no later than the original due date of the loan. The Internal Revenue Service requires that a default be declared no later than the last business day of the calendar quarter following the calendar quarter in which your first missed payment was due. If you do not repay your loan(s), the outstanding loan balance, plus accrued interest, may be treated as a taxable distribution from your account reducing your vested account balance by the outstanding loan amount with the outstanding loan amount (plus accrued interest) being subject to income tax including an additional 10% Federal early withdrawal tax if you are under age 59-1/2 unless an Internal Revenue Service exception applies to you.
