Good afternoon!  Have a potential client that's looking to setup both a DC and DB Plan.  No issue in that, but where they are looking to invest the money is asking for separate EIN # for each Plan.  Is that normal?  Just curious, as it's not something I've previously encountered.

Thanks, and sorry for all the questions lately!

Yes, this is normal. The number that they need is the EIN of the trust, not the EIN of the employer.

Yes... if each plan's trust will be separate from each other, each plan's trust will need its own Trust EIN.

Some plans have not obtained EIN's for the Trust.  If they need Plan EIN's, then would need to apply for one.  A lot of vendors haven't always used them.
