Loan Modeling in Relius

Prior to version 18 (I think) when the loan specs and info were separate on the "Data Entry" flag, you could model a loan for a participant and generate an amortization schedule without having to set up a loan. This was helpful for participants who were looking for the different repays for different time periods. I understand that the loan setup info has been moved to the participant census screens. Is there still a way to "model" a loan and generate an amortization without setting the loan up?

Impact of PPA

A consultant suggested the PPA effectively repealed IRS Notice 96-8, at least to the extent the notice said future interest credits are part of the benefits that are already accrued. He says under the PPA the cash balance is the accrued benefit. But if what he is suggesting is correct, could that mean you could reduce the interest credits on benefits that have already accrued? That doesn't seem right. Am I mixing apples and oranges here?

What Date to Use for RMD Calculations by Terminating Plan?

A 401(k) plan terminating in 2017, last day of plan year 2017 would be the date all assets distributed, which I do not know yet, but obviously would be the month all assets out of the plan. Accountant questioning RMD for 2018, on the basis that the valuation date for 2018 is the last day of the plan year. IRAs are easy: the last day of the calendar year prior. Qualified plans and 403(b)s: the last valuation date in the calendar year immediately preceding the distribution year. Does this mean we'd have to use the last day of the short plan year within the preceding plan year, or the last day of the calendar year preceding the distribution calendar year?
