Guest wjr Posted July 11, 2000 Posted July 11, 2000 Can A Governmental Agency eliminate the in-service withdrawal feature they currently have for after-tax employee contribution accounts? They are no longer going to allow the employees to contribute on an after-tax basis and plan to freeze the after-tax accounts.
Kirk Maldonado Posted July 11, 2000 Posted July 11, 2000 Have you verified that local (i.e., that state's) law would not preclude such an amendment? Remember that governmental plans are not subject to ERISA's preemption of state law. Kirk Maldonado
Carol V. Calhoun Posted July 11, 2000 Posted July 11, 2000 Governmental plans are not subject to 411(d)(6). See 411(e)(2). However, you need to watch out for state law and state Constitutional provisions. In many instances, routine "impairment of contract" provisions have been held to prohibit various modifications of benefits.
