Guest Fuzzy Posted March 19, 2003 Posted March 19, 2003 Is it OK in a Profit Sharing Plan to set the Normal Retirement Age (NRA) at 40. The reason we would like to do this is to give the ability to all participants to take an in-service-distribution at NRA. If it is not OK, then what is the earliest I can set NRA at?
maverick Posted March 19, 2003 Posted March 19, 2003 Why not just change the plan to allow in-service withdrawals after age 40? The problem with setting low retirement age is it triggers 100% vesting. My 2 cents.
Guest greggi39 Posted March 19, 2003 Posted March 19, 2003 would the irs consider that to be a "reasonable" NRA? check rev rul 78-120
Guest greggi39 Posted March 19, 2003 Posted March 19, 2003 sorry, i think that applies to pension plans--not P/S plans
Mike Preston Posted March 19, 2003 Posted March 19, 2003 PS plans can be set up such that everybody can take in-service withdrawals of monies that are "seasoned". There are typically two options in the adoption agreements I've seen that allow this: a) all monies in the plan for more than 2 years; or b) any monies in the plan after a participant has 5 years of participation. Rather than modify the retirement age, I'd suggest the first option.
