401(k) max contribution question

[FAVREFAN]

I am approaching my $17,500 limit for 2014. Will the plan stop contributions by itself or will I have to manually adjust my contribution to 0% for the rest of the year once I reach the max?
Thanks!

The plan will automatically shut you off.

If you are 50 or older you can contribute an additional $5,500.

Think of it as a pay raise,for the rest of the year.

If u dont need the money,open a ROTH IRA,if you are eligible.
