Restatement Perspectives 05: Safe Harbor Design Options

Safe Harbor 401(k) plans remain among the most popular plan design options, but there are still some common misconceptions about what you can and cannot do in a safe harbor plan. This program focuses on the opportunities and pitfalls available to a plan designer in the restatement process.

Topics include:

  • Safe harbor contribution alternatives
  • ACP safe harbor limitations
  • The benefits and burdens of the “maybe” notice
  • Plan design and the “maybe not” notice
  • What can have a vesting schedule?
  • What can have allocation conditions?
  • Exclusion of HCEs from safe harbor contributions
  • Use of the top heavy exemption after restatement
  • Triple stacked match option
Prerequisites: There are no prerequisites or advance preparation for this program. The instructor will assume attendees are familiar with preapproved plan documents and with the operation of 401(k) plans.
