Retirement Plans Retirement Plans
First Commonwealth has a savings plan pursuant to the provisions of section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue code. Effective January 1, 2020, a participating employee can receive a maximum matching contribution of 4% of their eligible compensation. In addition, each participating employee may contribute up to 80% of their eligible compensation to the plan. The 401(k) plan expense was $2.9 million in 2022, $3.0 million in 2021, and $3.9 million in 2020.
First Commonwealth maintains a Non-Qualified Deferred Compensation Plan (“NQDC Plan”) to provide deferred compensation for those employees who are in the top 10% of full-time employees, as determined on the basis of eligible compensation. The NQDC Plan provides participants whose maximum retirement contribution is limited by IRS rules to defer additional compensation.
Participants in the NQDC Plan are eligible to defer (on a pre-tax basis) from 1% to 25% of their eligible Plan compensation. Participants are also eligible to defer all or a portion of the Annual Incentive Plan (on a pre-tax basis) from 10% to 100% of their annual cash incentive earned. Effective January 1, 2020, an employer elective contribution is available to participants
who reach the IRS Compensation limits in the 401kPlan. The ‘makeup match’ contribution is made to eligible participants on an annual basis. Effective January 1, 2021, an employer non-elective contribution is available to certain participants determined by the Company. The ‘discretionary’ contribution may be approved from year-to-year and allocated on an annual basis. There was $0.2 million in NQDC Plan expense recognized in 2022, and no NQDC Plan expense recognized in either 2021 and 2020.
Select employees from former acquisitions were covered by postretirement benefit plans which provide medical and life insurance coverage. The measurement date for these plans was December 31.

The Medicare Prescription Drug, Improvement and Modernization Act of 2003 introduced a prescription drug benefit under Medicare Part D and a federal subsidy to sponsors of retiree health care benefit plans that provide a prescription drug benefit that is at least actuarially equivalent to Medicare Part D. The postretirement plans of First Commonwealth are provided through insurance coverage; therefore, First Commonwealth will not receive a direct federal subsidy. The preceding measures of the accumulated postretirement benefit cost assume that First Commonwealth will not receive the subsidy due to the relatively small number of retirees.
As of December 31, 2022, the projected benefit payments for the next ten years are as follows:

The projected payments were calculated using the same assumptions as those used to calculate the benefit obligations included in this note.
