Help Finding a SEP IRA Document to Stand Beside a Cash Balance Plan

"I'm trying to find a SEP IRA document for a Client that allows for a SEP IRA to stand behind their Cash Balance Plan. Is anyone aware of a company that provides that? We know we CAN NOT use IRS Form 5305-SEP."

After-Tax Contributions and the ACP Test

"I want to make sure that I understand the ACP test correctly. Example:

  • Safe Harbor Plan -- 3% non-elective
  • No matching contribution
  • After-tax contributions are allowed

If the NHCE ACP is 0%, then no HCE can make an after-tax contribution. If the NHCE ACP is 2-8%, HCEs can make after-tax contributions of the NHCE average plus 2% If the NHCE ACP is above 8%, HCEs can make after-tax contributions of the NHCE average x 1.25 If so, it sounds like the sponsor would need to add some form of a matching contribution (possibly only to NHCEs) if they want to offer the ability to make after-tax contributions."

Notify Terminees Their Tiny Accounts Are Being Forfeited?

"When terminated participant account balances are under the net fee their distribution would pay to be distributed, their accounts are forfeited. Example:  account balance = $90 but distribution fees = $100. I'm curious what kind of notification these terminated participants get? Also, what if it's a Roth account balance?"
