A 401(k) plan designed with a mandatory employer contribution but no discrimination testing.

Key features

• Permits employers to choose either a 3% profit sharing contribution or a 4% matching contribution on a 5% deferral. Employer contributions must be made each year to maintain safe harbor provisions.
• Employees may defer without 401(k)-type discrimination testing.
• All contributions must be 100% immediately vested.
• Participant loans are available.
• Withdrawals are governed by the plan document and may be restricted.¹

Who can establish

Businesses, partnerships, S-corporations², C-corporations² and nonprofit groups (no governmentals). Employers must provide a 30-day notice before establishing the plan.

Annual contributions
