I've just gotten hold of some internal IRS guidance on the application of vesting requirements to plans governed by section 411(e)(2). While the guidance was primarily directed toward governmental plans, it indicates that it would also be applicable to church plans. For anyone who is interested, I've put a copy up at this link. -
We've had some discussion here in the past regarding what vesting requirements applied to qualified governmental plans. The confusion arises because Code section 411(e)(2) says that governmental plans are required to comply with pre-ERISA section 401(a)(4) and (7), but Code section 401(a)(5)(G) says that 401(a)(4) does not apply to a governmental plan. I've now gotten a copy of an internal IRS directive on the subject, and have posted a copy of it at this link. Essentially, it is applying pre-ERISA section 401(a)(4) to the vesting standards of governmental plans, notwithstanding section 401(a)(5)(G). My analysis of the guidance can be found at this link.
