Dinosaur Posted November 17, 2021 Posted November 17, 2021 Thanks for your help in advance. A DB plan terminates on December 31, 2021. The distribution for the owner (only participant) will take place in early 2022 (will be age 63 or so). Highest 3 year average = 285K so benefit will be based on 415 dollar limit. Is the calculation of the maximum lump sum benefit to be paid in 2022 based on $230,000 (in effect on plan termination date) or $245,000 (the new limit for 2022 since will be paid in 2022)? Thanks
Calavera Posted November 18, 2021 Posted November 18, 2021 If accrued benefits were not frozen at plan termination date - $245,000. If accrued benefits were frozen at plan termination date, it depends on the language of the freeze amendment: no special language - $230,000; allowing increase in 415 dollar limit post benefit freeze - $245,000.
