including "taxable welfare benefits" in Sole Prop plan

[Belgarath]

This seems redundant to me, but maybe I'm missing something?

Base definitions. Plan defines comp as W-2. And of course as earned income for self-employed.

Plan also specifically (separately) includes "taxable welfare benefits."

Now, while I don't think this causes any harm, isn't it purely redundant? If it is a taxable welfare benefit for a W-2 employee, then it shows up on the W-2. If it is a sole prop, then it is earned income, which is what the plan uses anyway.

Is there any good reason to have this as a separate inclusion that I'm missing?

FWIW - I spoke to two different CPA's, who both agreed.
