Does a spouse have legal basis to challenge non-spouse beneficiary on IRA?
Luke Bailey reacted to Old Lawyer for a topic
It is quite common for financial institutions to freeze an IRA account, file an interpleader action, and allow the court to determine the claimants' rights so that there is no double payment; indeed, interpleader actions are common even where a claim seems frivolous. New Jersey law as to the right of a spouse to claim under an augmented estate theory suggests that interpleader may be appropriate as an action by the IRA custodian.1 point -

403b hardship
Carike reacted to Luke Bailey for a topic
Assuming the individual is not an HCE (or that the plan sponsor is a governmental entity and therefore exempt from nondiscrimination rules), how about adopting a discretionary amendment before end of plan year stating that this named individual does not have the 6-month suspension in 2019?1 point -
Loan for Hardship Reasons
Luke Bailey reacted to QDROphile for a topic
Then the fiduciary administrator is required to interpret the plan. That effort will take more into account than is included in the post. Based on the post only, my vote (which counts for nothing) is for no loan because the minimum is not satisfied. I could argue that a $1000 loan is allowed, and that would be a reasonable outcome, too.1 point -

RestAssured reacted to Belgarath for a topic
Mandatory 20% withholding is only applicable to "eligible rollover distributions." A hardship withdrawal is not an eligible rollover distribution.1 point
