Question 229: P and S are in a controlled group. S and A are in an affiliated service group. P is not part of the ASG. P and S sponsor a plan covering their employees. Employees of A do not participate. Is this a multiple employer plan? Would it make a difference if all three companies sponsored the plan? |
