A Primer on Cash Balance Plans
2
TOPICS TO BE COVERED
CASH BALANCE THE BASICS MAKING IT WORK; DISCRIMINATION
TESTING PROPOSAL DESIGNS FROM PROPOSAL TO ANNUAL ADMIN. ACTUARIAL CONSIDERATIONS (HOW
ARE THE CALCULATIONS DONE) LET’S DO A PROPOSAL TOGETHER QUESTIONS ???
3
CASH BALANCE THE BASICS It is a DB plan Accrued Benefits expressed as an account
which grows at a stated rate of interest and a stated contribution. Therefore, benefits are definitely determinable.
Have become quite popular with small employers, as the courts and PPA have eliminated several of the problem areas.
4
CASH BALANCE THE BASICS Hybrid plan: Cash Balance; Pension Equity ;
Variable benefit/annuity plan and others. “Applicable defined benefit plan” rules under
PPA. IRS in proposed regulations (REG 154-BG36; issued 12/28/07) refer to them as “statutory hybrid plans”
Plans that are statutory hybrid plans are lump sum based.
5
CASH BALANCE THE BASICS Statutory hybrid plans Not subject to the special minimum lump sum
distribution rules under 417(e). Must provide for an interest rate credit of not more
than a market rate of return. At least 3 year cliff vesting Preservation of capital Special rule regarding future rate of return at plan
termination. Age discrimination: similarly situated employees,
disregarding age, must be treated the same
6
STATUTORY CB REQUIREMENTSPROPOSED REGS. Safe Harbor for Age discrimination: as of any date
the benefit of any participant would not be less than the benefit of a similarly situated younger participant. Otherwise must test under 411(b)(1)(H)(1).
Would appear that: Job title; ownership %; compensation; location; employer; service could all be used.
Not sure status unrelated to the workplace would work. Has caused little problems when designing a plan.
7
STATUTORY CB REQUIREMENTSPROPOSED REGS. Market Rate of Return: Third segment rate Discount rate on 3 month Treas. Bills +175 bp Discount rate on 12 month Treas. Bills +150 Yield on 1 yr. Treas. Constant Maturities+100 Yield on 3 yr. or shorter Treas. Bonds+50 Yield on 7 yr. or shorter Treas. Bonds+25 Yield on 30 yr. or shorter Treas. Bonds+0 bp
8
STATUTORY CB REQUIREMENTSPROPOSED REGS. Market Rate of Return Cost-of-Living index as described in 1.401(a)(9)-6,
A-14(b) +300 bp. May be credited more than once a year. What about
distributions made doing the year? Minimum guaranteed rate of return: Reserved A fixed rate of return: Reserved Equity-based rate of return: Reserved ASPPA providing comments or all of the above. I like a fixed rate, and have used 5.5%
9
STATUTORY CB REQUIREMENTSPROPOSED REGS. Lots of guidance on conversions, which will
not be covered beyond this slide. The basic principal is that each employee
starts with an account balance/accrued benefit equal to the Actuarial Equivalent (including 417(e) minimum lump sum) of their Accrued benefit.
Will there be 411(d)(6) relief or will the value have to be recalculated each year?
10
STATUTORY CB REQUIREMENTSPROPOSED REGS. Regs. will not be effective until PY beginning
on or after 1/1/09. However can be relied on. Any good faith effort to comply is OK but
must follow the law.
11
CASH BALANCE THE BASICS ADVANTAGES OVER A STD. DB OR DC
* Higher Contribution addition than a DC plan (amount necessary to fund for 415 DB limit)
* Easy for the employees to understand
* A stated rate of return (must be a “market rate of return”).
12

MAX 415 CONTRIBUTION for 2009 (ROUNDED DOWN TO $1,000)

30 $49,000 $45,000 $44,000 $34,000 N/A
35 $64,000 $60,000 $58,000 $46,000 N/A

60 N/A N/A $229,000 $197,000 N/A
65 N/A N/A N/A N/A $220,000
13
ADVANTAGES OVER A STD. DB OR DC *Can convert a current DB plan
* Can provide past service benefits
* More meaningful to younger employees and a mobile workforce
*Answers the question: What is in my account? (which will be more difficult to answer for DB plans under PPA). Therefore ideal for the partner plan or the petty owners (who count how many pencils each use).
14
ADVANTAGES OVER A STD. DB OR DC* Can have traditional DB benefit for some
of the employees
* Excess earnings reduce future contributions
* May use prior salaries to establish 415 average salary
15
CASH BALANCE THE BASICS DISADVANTAGES OF CB/DB PLANS * CB: An Individual Designed Plan; increased
document fees, user fees, delays in getting approval.
*DB/CB: Subject to benefit restriction rules and top 25 HCE LS restriction rules
* CB: Required contribution will not be the same as the sum of the amount going into the accounts (funding whip-saw).
*CB: Must (almost always) be general tested *CB/DB: May be subject to PBGC (could be a good)
16
DISADVANTAGES OF CB/DB PLANS *CB/DB: Subject to 401(a)(26)
* CB/DB: Must design plan to not violate 415.
*CB/DB: May limit the deductible contribution to the DC plan to 6% of Compensation
* CB/DB: Must comply with the top heavy DB requirements (usualy provided in DC plan)
*DB/CB: Requires the services of a Actuary
17
DISADVANTAGES OF CB/DB
*CB: Can not use wear away for conversions * CB: Three year cliff vesting required *CB: Choosing a “market rate of return” may be
difficult. * CB/DB: Poor earnings may increase cost * CB/DB: Must design conversions to avoid
potential back loading issues (hopefully the IRS, with the recent communications from Congress will change their position). Some relief provided in Rev. Rul. 2008-7
18
MAKING IT WORK; DISCRIMINATION TESTING
LIKE CROSS TESTING A DC
19
MAKING IT WORK; DISCRIMINATION TESTING
DB/DC: Coverage requirements under 410 (b) DB: Benefiting rules under 401(a)(26) DB/DC: Average benefits testing under 410 (b) DB/DC: Minimum top heavy benefits under 416 DB/DC: Maximum benefit limitations under 415 DB/DC: Gateway considerations under 401(a)4 DC/DC: Deduction limits under 404 DB/DC: Discrimination testing under 401(a)4 DB: Funding rules under PPA
20
Benefiting Rules Under 401(a)(26) 401(a)(26): 40% or at least 50 employees must benefit. The Paul Schulz Benefiting Rule:
½% per year of service minimum No one-day wonders Facts and Circumstances
21
Maximum Allowable Benefits Under 415 Note the advantage of the defined benefit
maximum is the use of the highest 3 consecutive years compensation Do not need current years earned income to be
as great as prior years Will affect DC annual additions and discrimination
testing
22
Deduction Limits Combined Plans Can always deduct 6% of Compensation as a
DC contribution Can always deduct 25% of Compensation to
DB plan (therefore total of 31% if all are in both plans)
Under recent statement from IRS can always deduct 150% of unfunded Target Liability.
Starting 2008 no 404 limits at all for any DB plan subject to PBGC

DB plan to provide ½% of pay per year of service to all HCE and the Max. 415 benefit to the HCE.
PS plan has each employee in a rate group. Often due to the additional expense
associated with CB plan the client makes this decision.

ACTUARIAL CONSIDERATIONS
42
ACTUARIAL CONSIDERATIONS Need to have a Funded Target Liability of at
least 110% in order to pay lump sums to HCE.
What contribution do you recommend or do you simply communicate the Min & Max?
Dealing with the effect of Funding whip-saw
43
ACTUARIAL CONSIDERATIONS Getting valuation done in time to avoid benefit
restrictions EOY or BOY valuation date? EOY makes the most sense. PPA current benefit restriction rules after 2008 is a
problem. Without a fix each year benefit will be frozen (after the plan is five years old).
Thec. Corrections will fix this, and IRS has stated their guidance will look like Notice 2008-21.
Potential change in funding method problem post 2008 PY.

48
RULES FOR PROPOSALS
Advise the client, often, in writing of the need for accurate data, and the need to advise you of any substantial changes or anticipated changes in data.
Never use permitted disparity Don’t get “cute” Don't use “napkin data” Don’t cut it too close just to prove you are smarter
than the other firm that did a proposal Leave some room Consider PT and short service employees (they are
usually younger and will help the test).
49
DOCUMENT DESIGN
Remember it is a DB plan, there is no dealing with it at the end of the year like a New Comp. Plan
Consider not having a 1,000 hour requirement or an EOY requirement to get a Contribution.
May want to state the benefit for the HCE in terms of the 415 limit.
Have the same Elig. Provisions as those who share in the PS plan
In some cases it may be wise to separate the 401(k) plan from the PS plan.
50
ANNUAL ADMINISTRATION
It is all about passing discrimination testing Remember the testing is done at the end of the year
so expect surprises Try to work a year in advance. Get the data of all the employees. Look at who will be Elig. next year and who shared
this year and will not share next year. Advise the client, often, in writing of the need for
accurate data, and the need to advise you of any substantial changes or anticipated changes in data
