KATS

I also did not receive the email with voting instructions. I tried calling the Academy and they said they would look into it. I still haven't heard back from them. I then called 610-935-6174 and spoke with Daniel Saclute, who is with the vendor. He got the email to me right away.

I work on a Davis Bacon Plan where the Davis Bacon contributions can be allocated as a QNEC. The remaining Davis Bacon contributions may be used to offset the employer profit sharing contributions. The plan was written to exclude HCE Davis Bacon contributions to the plan, so the HCE issue is avoided.

I had not had any math classes in over 20 years when I took the EA-1 exam in 2006. I went through the same decision making process that you are going through and even considered taking some college courses that would satisfy the requirements. I ultimately decided that I needed the full year to study the material. I did take the EA-1 exam and I passed the exam on the first try. I had already taken the other two exams so the EA-1 was the last one I needed to obtain my designation.
