Money Purchase Pension Plan

[Nassau]

Spousal consent is required when money is leaving the ABC Plan (MMP), but the plan's installment form did not have a section for spousal consent. Being new to the relationship I inquired with the client if there was a reason why there was not a spousal consent section on the plan's installment form.

As a result the client told me that they do have participants provide a spousal consent wen a termination is requested which is generally when an installment would be elected. The client has asked if it was necessary to have a spousal consent provided again if a change is being made to the setup of installments which is usually why a participant would be sent/complete an installment form.

Question: Do we need to get spousal consent again if any kind of change is being made to an installment payment setup? Any guidance would be helpful?
