What forms are required by the Plan and not 404(c)?

There few specific forms required by 404(c) are:

  • The notice of the plan's intent to qualify under 404(c) (generally included in the SPD);
  • The mandatory disclosures which are largely accomplished with a single notice supplemented by the investment option materials;
  • Prospectuses, and
  • The Direction of Investment form

Other forms necessary for proper Plan administration are required by Plan documents and include beneficiary designation, salary deferral election, QJSA notice, summary annual statement, distribution notice, hardship, participant loan, and participant account statements.

 


A major hurdle in affecting proper disclosure is just knowing what to disclose and when. Most disclosures, consequently, are relatively easy.

The most difficult disclosure-and the one in which there is the most failures-is the delivery of prospectus.
