Entry Date

[DTH]

Plan year is calendar, eligibility requirements are age 21 and 1 year of service (1,000 hours) with immediate entry. Subsequent eligibility computation periods revert to plan year. An employee didn't meet the eligibility requirements during the 1st eligibility computation period (e.g., 9/23/2014 - 9/22/15) but did meet it during the 2nd period (1/1 - 12/31/15). Does the employee enter the plan on 12/31/15 or 1/1/16? This has impact on whether he gets the 2015 employer nonelective contribution.

Thank you.
