Step 1: Determine Your Plan Status

The requirements of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act (ERISA) can sometimes change the status of an organization’s 403(b) plan, inadvertently subjecting some plans to a different set of compliance rules. Here, you will find a series of questions developed to assist with determining the status of your organization’s 403(b) plan and to make you aware of some important considerations.

ERISA or Non-ERISA? Important considerations when determining your plan status

ERISA

• Options for ERISA 403(b) plans sponsored by a private tax-exempt entity
• Maintaining an active or frozen plan
• Terminating a 403(b) plan

Non-ERISA

• Non-ERISA 403(b) plans sponsored by a private tax-exempt entity
• Maintaining an active or frozen plan
• Terminating a 403(b) plan
