Simple 401(k) plans and employer stock

[Guest KMcQ]

Is employer stock an allowable investment in a Simple 401(k) plan? If so, could the match be made only in employer stock?

Though there are probably exceptions, if the employer is simple enough to need a simple 401(k), the employer should not have employer stock in the plan. If the employer is an exception, it will already have access to the answers through its regular legal counsel or other professional advisors.
