Guest bernard comey Posted July 13, 2001 Posted July 13, 2001 Are top heavy minimum contributions subject to vesting?
Guest Richard Scheer Posted July 13, 2001 Posted July 13, 2001 yes they are, unless they are also used to satsify the Safe Habor Requirements
david rigby Posted July 13, 2001 Posted July 13, 2001 Any qualified plan (or aggregation group) that is top-heavy will have two primary characteristics that it must observe: 1. The benefit (PVAB for defined benefit plans) or current contribution (for DC plans) must be at least the appropriate T-H minimum. 2. The plan/group must use a vesting schedule that is at least as generous as the T-H schedule (20% after 2 years, graded to 100% at 6 years). By its definition, vesting applies to the Employer provided benefit. I'm a retirement actuary. Nothing about my comments is intended or should be construed as investment, tax, legal or accounting advice. Occasionally, but not all the time, it might be reasonable to interpret my comments as actuarial or consulting advice.
