Termination of 401(h) plan- not sure how to distribute 401(h) assets

[Guest schneiderdowns]

A client of ours is terminating their 401(h) plan and they need to pay everyone out, but they are not sure how to pay everyone out, in other words, must the 401(h) assets be left in the plan until a medical claim is incurred, or can the money be forced out before a medical claim is incurred?

You might have better luck getting an answer if you post this question under a different topic. This is the 401(k) board.
