Does a personal tax extension extend the 402(g) distribution date?

DB Plan - Conflicting Design - Help
Mike Preston replied to SteveK's topic in Defined Benefit Plans, Including Cash Balance
You did catch my drift that the design that Firm 1 is presenting is two or three orders of magnitude more complicated than you want, right? That is, if I'm right as to what I think they are advocating. And the simpler design gives you complete flexibility in all years (within reason)? -
DB Plan - Conflicting Design - Help

DB Plan - Conflicting Design - Help

Steve, based on what you have written you can have almost 100% flexibility for the next five years. Have one of your actuaries call me (my contact information is easily found) and I'll guide them through the process. It really is trivial. -
Loan prepayment allowed?
Mike Preston replied to Lou S.'s topic in Distributions and Loans, Other than QDROs
If I understand what was written, the participant loan's original amortization calls for the loan to be fully repaid at the end of the year. In essence, the participant should be asking what the exact dollar amount is to pay off the loan in full. I doubt it would be 6 months of unreduced payments. -
