Question 31: Employer A and Employer B are a controlled group. Employer C is not part of the controlled group. Employer C is part of an affiliated service group with Employer B. Employer A is not part of an affiliated service group. For qualified plan purposes, are employees from A,B and C considered to be employed by the same employer? Or are the groups considered separately for testing and other qualified plan purposes (i.e., A and B are tested together, and B and C are tested together, but A,B and C are not tested together)? |
