Fundamentals Series 05: Elective Deferrals [2017]

Elective deferrals are the heart of most retirement savings plans, so it is not surprising that the rules surrounding these vital contributions are detailed. While future seminars in this series will discuss testing (see program 6), safe harbors (see program 7), and Roth deferrals (see program 13), this program details the many other rules affecting elective deferrals and their employer contribution “cousin,” matching contributions.

Topics include:

• What is an elective deferral?
• Distribution restrictions
• Effective opportunity to defer
• Current availability
• Timing of deferrals and contribution
  • Penalties for late contribution
  • Problems with early contribution
• Conditional benefit rule
• 402(g) limit on deferrals
  • Correction of problems
• Catch-up contributions
  • Catch-up eligible employees
• Automatic contribution arrangements
  • EACAs
