Question 8: A parent and a wholly-owned subsidiary have separate 401(k) plans. If an employee transfers from the parent to the sub (assume a new job, with no similar tasks) will the employee be considered terminated from the parent plan? Assume the plans do not address any kind of transfer provisions. |
Answer: I assume your question relates to whether this is a distributable event as a separation from service under IRC 401(k)(2)(B)(i)(I). No, it is not. |
