LIBOR Posted March 4, 2004 Posted March 4, 2004 A plan is amended to provide for an early retirement window in 2004 ; those who opt for the window can also take their benefit as a lump sum - everyone takes a lump sum and is cashed out in 2004. Utilizing Rev. Ruling 77-2 you decide to reflect the window amendment on the 1/1/2005 valuation. Question : Assuming an immediate gain funding method, how would the amendment base be defined on 1/1/2005.
david rigby Posted March 19, 2004 Posted March 19, 2004 Could be problematic. - Perhaps wing it? - Calculate the amount at 1/1/04 but begin amortization at 1/1/05? (Probably not kosher.) - Cross your fingers that no one would do a window without already being in full funding? (No such luck.) - Calculate the liability change and the asset change (separately) at 1/1/04, add them to values at 1/1/05, then determine the UAL? I'm a retirement actuary.
