Non-spouse beneficiary required begin date


Recommended Posts

DB plan's pre-retirement death benefit for unmarried participant who dies with vested benefit prior to age 60 is life annuity payable to beneficiary starting when participant would have attained age 60. How does this work with 401(a)(9) regs that require the life annuity to the beneficiary to begin within year of death (no lump sum available)?  If the participant dies at age 50, by when does the non-spouse beneficiary have to take the benefit?
