Question 12: Employer A is a member of a controlled group. Employer A adopts a money purchase pension plan. A participant of the plan terminates employment with Employer A and works for Employer B, who is a member of the controlled group but is not an adopting employer of the money purchase pension plan. Is this a distributable event? This question is very similar to question 8 but is a money purchase plan instead of a 401(k) plan. |
Answer: I take it your problem concerns the prohibition on in-service distributions in a money purchase pension plan. This prohibition comes from Rev Ruls 69-693 and 60-323 and Reg 1.401-1(b)(1)(i). Those, in turn, are based on Code section 401. |
