top paid group election - administrative or document election

[Earl]

Is the election to use the Top Paid group an administrative election or does it have to be in the plan document.

I use the PPD/Corbel doc and the appendix A asks for an election. Would it take a plan amendment to change that for a future year.

And, what would be the timing on that amendment (I fugure that would be like the timing on a current to prior change - open to discussion).

Thank you.

It has to be in the doc and would require an amendment. Here is a prior discussion on the timing issue.
