Plan Freezing and Terminations

ASPPA [American Society of Pension Professionals & Actuaries]

Plan sponsors may find it necessary to terminate a retirement plan due to a business closure, merger and/or acquisition, implementation of a new plan, etc. Plan participants must be notified about the plan freeze / termination, amendments must be adopted, distributions must be made, PBGC forms filed, etc. It is important to know what these time-consuming and complicated procedures entail because one mistake can trigger numerous headaches and, potentially, penalties.

Learning Objectives:

• Identify participant communications and other documentation that are necessary to effect a plan termination.
• Ensure your ability to guide a client through a freeze or a termination.
• Avoid common pitfalls that can hinder or prevent implementation of a successful termination.
