Guest lip Posted April 10, 2008 Posted April 10, 2008 If benefit formula is specific to person;ie Dr.J benefit is 500/mo per y of svc Sue Smith 100/month in subsequent year we have a new entrant. should trust doc address what some default benefit is for new entrant? can it be determined per person as they enter?
Effen Posted April 10, 2008 Posted April 10, 2008 The formula you stated might work, but I suggest that you use job classifications or ownership percentages instead of names. Also, you should add a third group to catch any other potential participants. I have seen DC plans were everyone is named and they each have their own group, but most attorneys I talk to do not believe that type of language is appropriate. We tend to use something other than names.

SoCalActuary Posted April 10, 2008 Posted April 10, 2008 As written, you have a plan design that gives no regular benefit to new entrants who are not named. They would then get the default benefit under top-heavy, if it applies.
Effen Posted April 10, 2008 Posted April 10, 2008 ALso, no matter what you do it would need to satisify the applicible non-discrimination rules.
