Current EACA change

[pmacduff]

Can an EACA arrangement be amended for auto escalation any time during a plan year or must the auto escalation be effective as of the beginning of a plan year?

It has been an EACA arrangement but did not previously have an auto escalation feature and they want to add one.

thanks in advance!

I had the same issue - but could find no further research on this. We decided that the EACA Notice was the driving factor and that a mid-year addition of the auto-escalation could not be done. Maybe for new participants - but we are taking the conservative approach.
