Student Debt 401(k) Match Program
T-Mobile's Student Debt 401(k) Match Program, administered by Fidelity, helps eligible employees continue building retirement savings while paying down student debt. Verified student loan payments can count toward receiving the T-Mobile 401(k) employer match, even if you aren't contributing to your 401(k) through your paycheck.
How It Works
- Your student loan payments are treated like 401(k) contributions when calculating your employer match.
- You’ll continue to receive your regular match for each pay period for any 401(k) contributions you make.
- At the end of the year, T-Mobile will make an additional contribution based on your verified student loan payments.
- This helps you earn your full match potential, even if you contribute less or not at all to your 401(k).
Eligibility & Enrollment
- You must complete one year of service to participate (same as the traditional 401(k) match).
- Enrollment and loan verification will be managed through Fidelity at www.netbenefits.com.
Loan Eligibility
- Eligible loans include federal or private student loans taken out in your name for your own, your spouse’s, or your dependent’s education.
- You must have at least one verified loan account to complete enrollment.
Employee Match
- You can earn up to 4% of your eligible compensation, up to IRS limits ($360,000 in 2026).
- Any student-loan-based match will be contributed to your 401(k) after the plan year ends (typically by March of the following year).
