cash balance plan funding method

[Guest mrsactuary]

One of my cash balance plans is using EAN as the valuation method. I've generally seen PUC method being used. Any comments on the choice of this method.

There is nothing prohibiting EAN, assuming it produces "reasonable" results.

Either way, it all goes away with PPA so I wouldn't be too concerned.

One nifty little tidbit too is that pre-PPA there is no automatic approval to change to PUC for a CB plan, so you better like it.
