| EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS | EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS Deferred Compensation Plans
We sponsor a qualified deferred compensation plan which qualifies under Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code. During 2019, we made matching contributions of 70.0 percent of employee contributions up to a maximum of 5.0 percent of the employee’s compensation. Our contributions to the plan vest after a period of three years. During 2019 and 2018, we contributed to the plan approximately $1.0 million.
We provide a nonqualified deferred compensation plan for our officers and certain key employees. Under this plan, participants may defer up to 100 percent of their annual salary and bonus. Although participants direct the investment of these funds, they are classified as trading securities and are included in long-term investment securities on the consolidated balance sheets because they remain our assets until they are actually paid out to the participants. We have established a trust to finance obligations under the plan. At the end of each year and at other times provided under the plan, we adjust our obligation to a participant by the investment return or loss on the funds selected by the participant under rules established in the plan. Upon separation of employment of the participant with the Company, the obligation owed to the participant under the plan will be paid as a lump sum or over a period of either or five years (and will continue to be adjusted by the applicable investment return or loss during the period of pay-out). We had deferred compensation plan assets of approximately $1.2 million and $1.3 million as of December 31, 2019, and 2018, respectively. The change in the liability associated with the deferred compensation plan is recorded in the deferred compensation payable.
