403(b) Document Delays, The 'Once in Always In' Rule, and The 'Effective Date Addendum'
The Business of Benefits 
[Guidance Overview] Oct. 5, 2017
"The IRS requires that the 'once in, always in' term be included in the pre-approved [403(b) plan] document.... [M]any employers may not have not applied this rule, over time, consistent with the required plan document term. With the pre-approved document covering practices back to January 1, 2010, plans which adopted this the pre-approved plan with this term automatically included term might immediately have a 'form and operation' problem which would force them into EPCRS.... [T]here can be any number of practices required by the pre-approved document which the employers have not 'practiced' since January 1, 2010."
