Spousal Consent for 401(k) Plan Life Annuity Distributions

"[An article in the June 5 BenefitsLink Newsletter] said that if a 401(k) plan offers a life annuity distribution option, a married participant must obtain spousal consent for that type of payout. Is this everyone's understanding? If this is the case, I imagine amending the plan to remove this option would be a BRF violation."

Allocation Waiver for Retired Employee Subsequently Rehired on a Part-Time, on Call Basis

"The employee (past NRA) retired in early 2024 and due to various business needs the employer reached out to rehire the employee on a part-time/on call basis. The plan provides an allocation waiver for retirement for profit sharing allocations. There is only 3 months between the retirement date and rehire date. The employer wants to treat the compensation earned through the retirement date as eligible for profit sharing under the allocation waiver and all income earned upon rehire would be subject to the 1000 hour and last day allocation conditions. The plan is not top heavy and uses new comparability with each employee in individual allocation groups and combined tested with a Cash Balance plan. Assuming no other testing concerns, would that split allocation be allowed? And considering potential testing concerns, the only issue I am seeing is if the allocation based on compensation through retirement does not satisfy the gateway minimum based on full year compensation, the full year compensation gateway minimum would be required."
