We work with small DB plans so It's been a while since someone has chosen an annuity as part of a plan termination. I now have a few such elections on a plan termination where none of the participants are at ERA or NRA yet but want a deferred annuity. Can you remind me under a PBGC covered plan what the annuity structure must be to relieve the plan of it's liabitlies to the participant. I know it has to be an individual contract in the participant's name, and I believe since the annuity payments will start way after 90 days that their election as to the form of deferred annuity benefit will be null and void after 90 days, so does the deferred annuity essentially have to contain ALL optional forms of benefits under the plan ? Thanks for the help and reminder.
