I think this is correct, but as a sanity check since it seems harder than expect to find authority on this - if a 401(k) plan is frozen, it's still permissible for participants to take out new loans and hardship withdrawals, correct?

I have a client with a 401(k) plan which will be merged into the 401(k) plan of their parent company on April 1, 2019. The parent company has asked the client to freeze contributions (but not loan payments) effective January 1, 2019. Is the client required to provide the plan participants with any advance notice of this freeze?

Is there a discrimination issue with freezing a CB plan where the only HCE/Key has fully accrued benefits, and the other participants have not? It is a small plan, just a handful of participants, and the owner won't receive any additional benefit accruals, so any contributions will really be going towards the other participants. No accrued benefits would be cut back, but I feel like freezing the plan would disproportionately affect the NHCE since they would be the ones losing out on the possibility of future accruals. But I seem to think that it doesn't matter, since the plan could terminate, in which case the result would be the same. I apologize in advance, my knowledge of cash balance plans is obviously very limited. Thoughts?
