§#$%! Posted January 29, 2016 Posted January 29, 2016 I just found out that a sole-proprietor who sponsors a defined benefit plan died in 2015 accruing 1,000 hours. The plan was effective in 2014. Can the executor of the decesased sponsor waive the minimum funding requirement in the year of death of the plan sponsor?
Lou S. Posted January 29, 2016 Posted January 29, 2016 If he was a sole proprietor how do you know he worked 1,000 hours? If he accrued a benefit and there is a minimum funding requirement I'm pretty sure only the IRS can waive the minimum funding requirement.
david rigby Posted January 30, 2016 Posted January 30, 2016 Is the plan terminated (under its own terms) upon the death? I'm a retirement actuary.
