When Is A Retirement Plan Top Heavy?
- 61667 POINTSview profileSteve SavantSyndicated Financial Columnist, Host of the weekly talk show Steve Savant's Money, the Name of the Game, Scottsdale ArizonaA top-heavy plan is one that benefits company officers, owners, employee shareholders, etc. and/or key employees. If a qualified plan becomes top-heavy, there are top heavy tests that ensure the other employees receive fair to equal treatment with similar benefits under the plan. In general, the basic definition of a top heavy defined contribution plan is when total account balances of key employees exceed 60% of the total retirement accounts.Answered on September 7, 2013flag this answer
