Jakyasar Posted March 1, 2021 Share Posted March 1, 2021 Hi Having a brain freeze as I have not had a low pay out for quite sometime. Is the relative value disclosure required for a lump sum under 5k (over 1k) and if yes, do I need to show the monthly benefit equivalences? Thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C. B. Zeller Posted March 1, 2021 Share Posted March 1, 2021 What does the plan document say? If it says that benefits with a present value less than $5,000 will be paid out in a lump sum and the participant cannot elect another form of benefit, then you do not need to provide the alternate forms and relative values since the participant could not elect them. If the plan permits the participant to elect a life annuity or other form on small benefits, then you would have to provide them with the disclosures necessary for them to make the election.
