Left in 2021? Worth asking about employer money
- In plan year 2021, active participants fell from 345 to 170 (51%), and 23 people left before they were fully vested. When a plan loses about 20% or more of its participants in a year, the IRS presumes a partial plan termination (Revenue Ruling 2007-43). Everyone who left in that period must then be fully vested in the employer's contributions. A 2021 law (Consolidated Appropriations Act, section 209) can excuse a drop between March 2020 and March 2021 if the plan had rehired enough people by March 31, 2021. Filing
This is a reason to ask the plan, not a finding. The plan decides, and it may show the drop was routine.

Events in the filings
- 2010: Another plan used the same employer ID and plan number, and this plan's report is missing from the government data file most search tools use. That's one reason it can be hard to find.
- 2017: The plan's money at the start of the year didn't match the end of the year before, so some money may have moved in or out without being reported.
- 2021: The plan's money at the start of the year didn't match the end of the year before, so some money may have moved in or out without being reported.
