SIMPLE IRA--EMPLOYER

[Felicia]

May a municipality establish a SIMPLE IRA for its employees if it meets the other requirements, e.g. number of employees?

[Guest danmar]

Yes, a municipality can establish a SIMPLE IRA but not a SIMPLE 401(k).

It would appeal that the controlled/affilliated/related employer rules would not apply to separate government bodies (separately incorporated). This may be a good question to ask Carol Calhoun on the Gov't Plan Board if it becomes an issue for you.
