Guest BBishop Posted December 1, 2000 Share Posted December 1, 2000 Are there any situations in which a 403(B) plan is not subject to ERISA if the employer makes contributions? We have a plan in which the employer makes contributions regardless of whether the employees make any voluntary withholdings. We are also looking at Freezing the current plan and making the new plan a matching plan of employee contributions to encourage participation. Based on what we have researched, this would be subject to ERISA and 5500 reporting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carol V. Calhoun Posted December 1, 2000 Share Posted December 1, 2000 The only situation in which a 403(B) plan with employer contributions (other than salary reduction contributions) would not be treated as subject to ERISA is if it is a governmental or church plan. This is true regardless of whether the employer contributions are a match for employee contributions.
