BG5150 Posted 8 hours ago Posted 8 hours ago Employer properly deducted and remitted participant deferrals. But due to some accounting mishap on their end, they won't up contributing additional amounts for several participants. It wasn't a correction or anything. All the amounts were properly withheld and remitted the first time. So say Jimmy had a $100 deferral from his paycheck and the company deposited that timely. But when they went to do in-house balancing, it looked like he was short $15 so they sent that in for him, too. (the $15 was NOT withheld from pay) What's the correction? Put the funds in suspense account? Should it be sent back to the company (with earns, if any) as a MOF? I am leaning toward the latter. QKA, QPA, CPC, ERPATwo wrongs don't make a right, but three rights make a left.
CuseFan Posted 4 hours ago Posted 4 hours ago In your hypo, the $100 was the correct deferral, was actually withheld, and was fully deposited on a timely basis, yes? Then some accounting report seemed to incorrectly indicate there was a $15 deposit shortfall which was then unnecessarily made up via another deposit? I think either method for correction would be acceptable. Kenneth M. Prell, CEBS, ERPA Vice President, BPAS Actuarial & Pension Services kprell@bpas.com
BG5150 Posted 2 hours ago Author Posted 2 hours ago I'm guessing it depends on if the ER took a deduction for it. If they took $115, then put it in suspense. If not MOF. QKA, QPA, CPC, ERPATwo wrongs don't make a right, but three rights make a left.
