Wondering,
anyone seeing (or acting on) situations where the 1/1/2020 funded ratio is "high" (90% or above) and the plan sponsor is instructing the actuary not to issue the 2020 AFTAP certification, thus letting the default percentages apply? Could be useful when (1) the plan allows lump sums greater than $5,000 and (2) the sponsor is trying to save cash in the plan very soon after the assets have taken a dive.
Any other thoughts on the process? the communication? etc?
