Lifetime Income Disclosures -- Timing Headaches

"Maybe I'm just realizing this later than everyone else, but because the rates are changing monthly, are we in for a bunch of timing headaches? Specifically....

My efficient assistant prepared the report and statements in April.... and I'm just now getting to reviewing them. It used to not be a big deal because no numbers changed. But now I have to re-run the lifetime income disclosures because the interest rates aren't the same now as they were three months ago (or they might be, maybe.... better not take the chance!).

Let's say I actually did send the statements with disclosures back in April. Plan sponsors being plan sponsors, the package sat on their desk until I reminded them that they actually need to open it and do something, so they don't hand the statements and disclosures out until July. Are the disclosures that we prepared back in April no good? Would the participants ever know or care?

The interest rates are updated near the end of the month (according to the updates I get from my recordkeeping software provider). Does that mean I'm on hold with sending out reports near the end of the month so I don't accidentally force a client to hand out a disclosure notice that is 'behind' by the time they hand it out?

These sound ridiculous.... but that doesn't mean they're not how the rule was written. Of course, then there's 'written' vs. 'interpreted'... anyway, am I working myself up over nothing?"

Management Group Here Under Section 414(m)(5)?

"Question regarding the management group analysis under 414(m)(5). I have four entities none of which qualify as parent/sub or brother/sister controlled group members. One of the entities definitely provides management functions for the other three, but none of the three recipient organizations provides more than 50% of the gross receipts to the potential management organization.

I know that organizations related to the recipient organization are included as part of the entire group, but I believe that the analysis is scrutinized after the determination of whether a management group even exists. In other words, if I am incorrect and the three recipient entities above were combined prior to the management group analysis is performed, then the combined gross receipts of all of these companies would be above 50% and thus constitute a principal business. I don't think that's the case, but I'd very much like to hear from others."
