If its a Q that means they are trying to drop it but can't because of coverage. Whatever you end up doing you can't leave an uncovered day, even if you help out by solving the same or more uncovered days.

If all of the days of your original trip are above coverage, then you can drop that trip and pick up the Q trip.

Dumb question...can we allocate the 16% company contribution to the Roth 401K or does it have to go to the traditional 401k?

You have to white slip it. You can’t swap because someone is on the trip.

No. You can decide if your contribution goes into Roth or traditional but not the company 16%.

As far as I understand, the 16% doesn’t go into a 401k at all. It goes to the DPSP.

I have the company 16% deposited directly into my Brokeragelink account and my personal contribution deposited into my Roth brokeragelink.

Roger that

Thanks Bob...that makes sense. To follow up, are we ever able to roll the company contribution into a post-tax (Roth) account?

Which means I have to drop my current trip first I guess?

Not necessarily. You can enter a PCS swap request for a Q trip. It will only be honored if the trip you are dropping meets PD criteria. You don't have to use a PD first. If your dropped trip doesn't meet PD, criteria, you can submit an APD or IVD and then WS the Q trip.
