BG5150 Posted June 30 Posted June 30 Employer properly deducted and remitted participant deferrals. But due to some accounting mishap on their end, they won't up contributing additional amounts for several participants. It wasn't a correction or anything. All the amounts were properly withheld and remitted the first time. So say Jimmy had a $100 deferral from his paycheck and the company deposited that timely. But when they went to do in-house balancing, it looked like he was short $15 so they sent that in for him, too. (the $15 was NOT withheld from pay) What's the correction? Put the funds in suspense account? Should it be sent back to the company (with earns, if any) as a MOF? I am leaning toward the latter. QKA, QPA, CPC, ERPATwo wrongs don't make a right, but three rights make a left.
CuseFan Posted June 30 Posted June 30 In your hypo, the $100 was the correct deferral, was actually withheld, and was fully deposited on a timely basis, yes? Then some accounting report seemed to incorrectly indicate there was a $15 deposit shortfall which was then unnecessarily made up via another deposit? I think either method for correction would be acceptable. Kenneth M. Prell, CEBS, ERPA Vice President, BPAS Actuarial & Pension Services kprell@bpas.com
BG5150 Posted June 30 Author Posted June 30 I'm guessing it depends on if the ER took a deduction for it. If they took $115, then put it in suspense. If not MOF. QKA, QPA, CPC, ERPATwo wrongs don't make a right, but three rights make a left.
