HarleyBabe 1 Report post Posted September 29, 2019 Hello - I am trying to get some clarification on terminating a 403(b) plan and starting a 401(k) plan. This is already an ERISA B plan. They are a almost at the point of being a large plan filer. We are trying to avoid that of course. I have read so many different replies on if the 12 month waiting period applies. What I would like to propose is terminating the B plan 12/31/2019 and starting a K plan 1/1. However, the 12 month wait is the question. Help! The plan is invested in on the record keeper direct platform of AM Funds just as a side note. Please, any concerns or issues that occur with this, I would love the insight.

John Feldt ERPA CPC QPA 99 Report post Posted September 29, 2019 There is no 12 month wait. A 401(k) plan is not a successor plan to a 403(b) plan. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mr Bagwell 36 Report post Posted September 30, 2019 If potential large filer under 403b, would they be a potential large filer under the 401k? You can't force the 403b money into the 401k, the employees would have to individually initiate the rollover. Would you be losing a huge advantage of no ADP testing? I've seen some 403b's to be a lot of low pay no deferring type of plan. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
