Patricia Neal Jensen Posted May 3, 2018 Posted May 3, 2018 New client with a plan document which is on a 403(b) Adoption Agreement and the plan's name is "403(b) DC Plan" but the plan only permits a nonelective employer contribution: no deferrals. Is this a 403(b) plan? (Why do I care? Because it is not a PPA document. If it is a 403(b), then I can restate now; if it is not a 403(b) but a DC plan, it is a problem.)

Carol V. Calhoun Posted May 3, 2018 Posted May 3, 2018 A 403(b) is permitted, but not required, to allow employee deferrals. The only real limitation is that if it allows deferrals for one, it must allow them for all, except for certain specified exclusions.
