Distributions in Cash balance

[jkdoll2]

Cash Balance Plan is frozen 1/1/07 and terminated 12/31/07. They did not fully fund the 2006 contribution - and are paying the excess tax on the contribution. They also owe a little contribution in 2007 - which isnt funded yet. They want to pay out employees. Can they pay out the employees owed - by reducing the owners payouts? I didnt know if you could do that for a cash balance plan? There isnt anything in the Corbel document that allows for that. They are not PBGC covered.

Thanks

The same rules apply to CB plans as do to traditional DB plans.
