403(b) Plans for 401(k) Practitioners Feb '14 - 3 parts
Presentor: Stephen Forbes Recorded Date: 2/25/2014 Duration: 315 Min.

Description
This 3-part program was recorded during live presentations on February 25, 26, and 27, 2014 at 12:00PM EDT.

More and more qualified plan administrators find themselves being brought into the 403(b) marketplace. While there are many similarities between 403(b) plans and 401(k) plans, there are also several profound differences.

This Web seminar series is designed for 401(k) practitioners who would like to understand 403(b) plans. It builds on the knowledge you already have, to help you effectively advise clients and keep 403(b) plans running properly. If you work primarily with 403(b) plans and would like to develop a better understanding of the rules, you also will benefit from the careful explanation of the 403(b) requirements.

Topics include:

  • Background
  • Eligible employers/employees
  • Investment vehicles
  • ERISA requirements/DOL
  • Written plan requirement
    • Prototype program
    • Correcting failures
  • Exchanges and transfers
