Employer received a participant request to increase 401k deferrals from 3% to 5% in 2020. The request was received but never implemented, but the participant just noticed that the change never occurred. Is the participant entitled to any corrective contributions/earnings on the missed deferrals and safe harbor matching contributions?

Thank you.

Generally yes, lost earnings on any corrective amount is required. See Revenue Procedure 2021-30. 

More information is needed if you have questions about calculating the QNEC for the missed deferrals and the missed safe harbor match amount.

I'm a stranger on the internet. Nothing I write is tax or legal advice. 

I'd like a witty saying here, but I don't have any. When in doubt, what does the plan document say?
