Andy the Actuary Posted December 10, 2012 Posted December 10, 2012 415(b)(1)(B) limits the benefit accrued to 100% of the high 3 years of compensation. Owing to actuarial increases, it's not unusual that the actuarially increased normal retirement benefit could exceed the 415(b)(1)(B) limit. In such case, it would appear this limit could conflict with 401(a)(9). I have a take-over where this has occurred. The employee is 72 (with 51 years of service!), the AAC=$60,000, the NRB=35,000, the LRB=44,000, and the actuarially increased NRB=69,000. To protect the employee against forfeiture, the Plan would need to incorporate a retroactive annuity start date. Any thoughts?
