Pat Obrien Chevrolet 401k Plan

Left in 2016, 2019, 2020, 2023? You may be owed employer money

• In plan year 2016, 91 people (25% of active participants) left before they were fully vested. Turnover that high can count as a partial plan termination (Revenue Ruling 2007-43), which requires full vesting of employer money for those who left. The plan may argue it was routine turnover. Filing
• In plan year 2019, 117 people (43% of active participants) left before they were fully vested. Turnover that high can count as a partial plan termination (Revenue Ruling 2007-43), which requires full vesting of employer money for those who left. The plan may argue it was routine turnover. Filing
• In plan year 2020, active participants fell from 243 to 68 (72%), and 91 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
• The plan ended in plan year 2023. When a plan ends, everyone who still has an account must be fully vested in the employer's contributions (Internal Revenue Code section 411(d)(3)). If you left within about five years before that with employer money not yet vested, it may not have been forfeited yet, and may be yours. Filing

This is a reason to ask the plan, not a finding. The plan decides, and it may show the drop was routine.
