20 Proposed Regulations Affecting ERISA Section 204(h) 20
21 Introduction * In March 2008, the IRS issued proposed regulations impacting the timing and necessity of some 204(h) notices. * The general rule is still that a 204(h) notice must be provided at least 45 days prior to the effective date of a qualified pension plan amendment that significantly reduces a participant s future benefit accruals or early retirement benefits (15 days for multiemployer and certain small plans). 21
22 No 204(h) Notice is Required for Adoption of Section 417(e) Assumptions * The PPA amended section 417(e)(3) of the Code by providing new actuarial assumptions (e.g. mortality table and applicable interest rate) for calculating the minimum present value of a participant s accrued benefit. * Prior to the issuance of the proposed regulations, it was unclear whether a plan amendment that adopted the new actuarial assumptions would trigger a 204(h) notice. * The proposed regulations clarify that a reduced distribution resulting from a plan amendment adopting the new 417(e)(3) actuarial assumptions does not require a 204(h) notice. 22
23 Effective Date of Retroactive Amendment is When First Put Into Effect * Currently, the timing of a 204(h) notice is based on the amendment date, defined as the later of the effective date or the date the amendment is adopted. * The proposed regulations clarify that the effective date of an amendment that is permitted to be adopted retroactively is the date the amendment is put into effect on an operational basis rather than the date of adoption. * Thus, a 204(h) notice for an amendment adopted retroactively must be provided at least 45 days (15 days for multiemployer plans) before the first day the plan is operated as if the amendment were in effect, even if the amendment is not adopted until a later date. 23
24 45 Day Notice Rule Applies to Cash Balance Plans Eliminating Whipsaw * The IRS previously indicated in Notice that a plan administrator must give a 204(h) notice 30 days before amending a plan to base lump sum payments solely on a participant s account balance (thus eliminating the whipsaw calculation as permitted by the PPA). * The proposed regulations clarify that this 30 window only applies to amendments effective prior to December 31, * Under the proposed regulations, an amendment that eliminates a whipsaw calculation after the end of 2008 will be subject to the normal 45 day 204(h) notice requirement. 24
25 No Need for Multiple Notices * The proposed regulations eliminate the need to provide multiple notices with substantially the same function and information to affected persons. * If a plan complies with the applicable standards of certain other notices, then the plan will be treated as having complied with section 204(h) without actually having to send a separate 204(h) notice. 25
26 No Need for Multiple Notices * The proposed elimination of duplicative 204(h) notices applies to the following types of notices: A notice regarding an amendment that reduces benefit accrual where the plan has applied for and received approval from the Secretary of the Treasury (IRC 412(d)(2)). A notice required under section 101(j) of ERISA concerning a plan amendment made to comply with the benefit limitations of Code
27 No Need for Multiple Notices A notice required for an amendment that reduces or eliminates accrued benefits attributable to employer contributions with respect to a multiemployer plan in reorganization (Section 4244A(b) of ERISA). A notice relating to the effects of the insolvency status for a multiemployer plan (Section 4245(e) of ERISA). A notice to the PBGC, plan participants and plan beneficiaries of an amendment of a terminated multiemployer plan reducing benefits pursuant to section 4281(c) of ERISA. 27
28 204(h) Satisfied by a Code 432(e)(8)(C) Notice for Plans in Critical Status * Code Section 432 permits multiemployer plans in endangered or critical status to adopt amendments that reduce prior accruals. * Code Section 432(e)(8)(C) requires notice of such an amendment be provided at least 30 days before the effective date and include information that is sufficient for participants and beneficiaries to understand the effect of any reduction on their benefits. * A notice for a multiemployer plan in critical status that satisfies the timing and content requirements under section 432(e)(8)(c) will be treated as satisfying the timing and content requirements of 204(h). 28
29 Contributing Employers in Multiemployer Plans Must be Provided 204(h) Notices The proposed regulations require that a 204(h) notice for a multiemployer plan must be provided not only to plan participants and other organizations required by ERISA section 204(h), but must also be provided to contributing employers. 29
30 Proposed Regulations Generally Apply To Amendments Effective January 1, 2008 The proposed regulations generally apply to amendments effective on or after January 1, * For any amendment adopted after its effective date, the clarification of the effective date of the amendment in the proposed regulations is applicable to those amendments on or after July 1,
