cpc0506 Posted July 29, 2019 Posted July 29, 2019 Client has a safe harbor plan and allowed a hardship distribution to a participant last week. Current AA does not allow for hardship withdrawals. Can I retroactively amend a safe harbor plan to add hardships? I thought that a 30 day notice requirement still existed for making mid-year changes to SH plans. Does Rev Proc 2019-19 allow for this type of Self-correction? I could not find any language regarding safe harbor plans. Thanks for your input.
Luke Bailey Posted July 29, 2019 Posted July 29, 2019 cpc0506, Check out Notice 2016-16. This would appear to be a permitted amendment for a safe harbor plan, but may require a new notice under the rules explained in 2016-16, depending on your facts. I would also think that it would meet the requirements for self-correction by amendment under Rev. Proc. 2019-19. Of course, I have not examined your documents or facts, so am treating your question like a hypothetical example.
