404(a)(4) nondiscrimination testing


Recommended Posts

Posted

If a plan satisfies the 410(B) coverage test, will it also be deemed to pass the 404(a)(4) non-discrimination test requirements for contributions? Or must further testing be done with each rate group?

Did you intend to post this under 401(k) Plans?

What type of plan do you have?

More generally, no, passing 410(B) does not mean that you pass 401(a)(4). But, perhaps you have additional details to share.

Even more generally (g), yes, if the plan's formula (or formulas) satisfy the rules such that it (or they) are described as "safe-harbor" formulas under the regulations.

What kind of plan do you have? What types of contributions are made? What are the formulas used to determine the allocation of the contributions?
