Soon, “a plan providing disability benefits” must design its claims procedure to meet some conditions ERISA’s claims-procedure rule does not otherwise require for a retirement plan’s claims procedure.

If a 401(k) plan has immediate vesting for all contributions and allows a distribution on a participant’s severance-from-employment (without considering how the employment ended), is it fair to say the plan provides no disability benefit?

 

Can anyone think of a situation in which a 401(k) plan’s administrator must decide whether a participant has a disability?

Vesting, 1000 hour and last day requirements are sometimes waived for Disability.  But I can't imagine this being called a disability benefit.
