Guest Sabadee! Posted September 9, 2008 Posted September 9, 2008 If plan A provides early retirement and is merged into plan B, which does not provide early retirement, is there anything that would prohibit separating the benefits earned under A and B for annuity starting dates? Am I correct in thinking we must preserve the timing features of A's benefits even if they are more liberal than those allowed by B? It seems strange to allow commencement of benefits from a portion of an accrued benefit.
AndyH Posted September 9, 2008 Posted September 9, 2008 I think you have it right. You must protect the payment options based upon benefits accrued.
david rigby Posted September 9, 2008 Posted September 9, 2008 I agree wih Andy. When he states "protect the payment options", it would be prudent to consider the option factors in A versus those in B. I'm a retirement actuary. Nothing about my comments is intended or should be construed as investment, tax, legal or accounting advice. Occasionally, but not all the time, it might be reasonable to interpret my comments as actuarial or consulting advice.
