  1. Can you accomplish your goal by "un-terminating" the plan, and then "re-terminating" in 2018?
  2. Seems like a pretty good response. Another phrasing might be, "What does the plan document say?"
  3. Yep, every actuary with a takeover relationship has had the same thoughts. Generally, we just remove (code D) as many (lump sums) as possible next filing. If the person has previously been reported as D, so what? (To be precise, we assume such reporting is "no harm, no foul".)
  4. Does "church plan" apply?
  5. If the company no longer exists, presumably there are no employees and no plan, so why did the original question ask about "future 5500's"? Perhaps it's prudent to narrow down the meaning of "gone bankrupt". Maybe it's not liquidation, but reorganization? Just askin'.
  6. Merely as a reference, it's likely most Separation Agreements include a phrase similar to: "Both parties acknowledge and agree that prior to and at the time of the division of properties as more particularly set out in this Separation Agreement, each has made a full disclosure ..."
  7. Yes, the J&S waiver would apply.
  8. Could the participant take a lump sum distribution directly to IRA, then have the IRA purchase whatever annuity is desired (possibly spending less than 100% of the IRA value)?
  9. I'm reading the original question as referring to a DC plan. Perhaps ErisaApple will clarify?
  10. Be careful when trying to attach logic to the legislative process.
  11. 2. I wonder who is your client: one attorney? both sides? I agree that drafting a DRO contrary to the plain reading of supporting documents is not good practice. I foresee a scenario where you draft as instructed, the other party objects, and they tweak your draft, and refuse to pay you.
  12. Thanks, Dave! If we see a name of "ClevelandIndiansFan", we'll know who it is.
  13. Ask him to prove it.

  15. Assuming the plan currently contains no provision allowing this rollover (as described by KevinC), the simplest way for the plan to handle this is the response "No".

  17. 1. IMHO, no. 2. What Bird said.
  18. You need a domestic relations/divorce attorney, but make sure you get one with intimate knowledge of QDROs. Better yet, get one with experience dealing with the federal pension system(s).
  19. Are you sure about this? I agree they are not subject to the IRC requirement, but it was my understanding that they have adopted the QDRO procedures, although they use the term "court order" rather than "QDRO". (I might be misinformed, just asking.)
  20. It appears Tom has some free time.
  21. I'm with Mike. It appears that A is now a wholly-owned subsidiary of B. Not the same as "no longer exists".
  22. The SOA recently created this website. https://afc.soa.org/ (Sorry, I haven't used it yet.)
  23. Echoing Tom, you might approach this as an "opportunity to clear up a confusion". If the ER has been operating the plan incorrectly, your role is helping educate them.
  24. Carol, although your second sentence rules out a qualified plan, have you considered a DB/DC offset arrangement, thus covering most of the benefit for the rank-and-file in the DC plan? This might allow a fairly large deduction for the HCEs/doctors.
