403(b) Non Erisa Plan Termination

[HarleyBabe]

Sorry if this is an overlap. I did search and there was just too many posts to go through so questions is:

Have a Non-Erisa 403(b) Plan wishing to terminate. Funding vehicle says Custodial Accounts. What am I as TPA required to provide the plan sponsor other than the termination resolution for this process. Do I need to prepare a Notice for participants and if so, what information should it provide, and what should I convey to the client regarding this termination process? I was reading about a 12 month rule for distributions to be all out. I am just not versed on 403(b) termination and want to make sure I provide all the information correctly for the client and the participants.

Thank you.

Information about how to end a 403(b) plan, including one that is a 403(b) plan for Internal Revenue Code purposes and yet is a non-plan under ERISA, is in chapter 13 of 403(b) Answer Book published by Wolters Kluwer.

I don't have the 403(b) Answer Book unfortunately.
