Minimum Funding Deadline - Florence

[John Feldt ERPA CPC QPA]

If a plan sponsor with a calendar year DB plan is located in a covered disaster area for Hurricane Florence, their 5500 filing deadline is January 31, 2019.

Is the minimum funding deadline also extended past September 15, 2018?

In addition, penalties on payroll and excise tax deposits due on or after Sept. 7, 2018, and before Sept. 24, 2018, will be abated as long as the deposits are made by Sept. 24, 2018.

I could be wrong but I read this that those in the disaster area would not be subject to the exicse tax as long as the deposit was made by 9/24.

No, they have not extended the minimum funding deadline past September 15, 2018.
