PBGC re Speech Therapist


Recommended Posts

Recent update to the PBGC website, discussing small professional employers:

BTW, is this person a member of any professional associations?  Perhaps she can inquire if others have a similar experience.

I'm a retirement actuary. Nothing about my comments is intended or should be construed as investment, tax, legal or accounting advice. Occasionally, but not all the time, it might be reasonable to interpret my comments as actuarial or consulting advice.

In these gray areas we are providing clients with the PBGC criteria and asking them to either make their own determination (who knows their business better?) or to request a determination of coverage from PBGC. However, if there isn't an existing DBP, then PBGC won't rule, and if the question of coverage is one of the decision criteria in whether or not to adopt a plan, potential sponsors and their providers are left making educated guesses.

If you're looking for an educated guess here, my opinion is that a licensed speech therapist would be professional services.
