In December 2002, long awaited guidance
for cash balance plans was issued in the form of proposed
regulations addressing age discrimination and other nondiscrimination
rules.
The proposed regulations regarding age discrimination, however,
are broadly applicable to pension and profit sharing plans,
raising both plan design and current and future litigation
issues. The panel will discuss these and other issues.
Topics Include:
- Future cash balance plan design
- The viability of cash balance conversions or whither
the wearaway
- Implications for other plan designs
|
- Litigation Issues—big and small
- Will the proposed regulations have an impact on
pending litigation?
- What, if anything, should employers do now?
