With a little over a month left in the 2019 year, ADMIN Partners would like to remind our 403(b) Plan Sponsors of their Universal Availability requirement. Time is running out, but we are here to help!
UNIVERSAL AVAILABILITY
Each year, the IRS requires 403(b) retirement Plan Sponsors to notify all eligible employees that the Plan is available for their participation. As we approach the end of 2019, ADMIN Partners would like to remind our Plan Sponsors of this requirement and encourage you to administer Meaningful Notice to your employees if you have not done so already.
Along with this reminder, ADMIN Partners supports our Plan Sponsors in this effort by providing resources that help satisfy the Universal Availability (UA) requirement. Click the image below to check out our Universal Availability portal which provides more information on UA and provides you access to free templates which can be used when providing your employees with Meaningful Notice.
While you’re there, we also encourage our Plan Sponsors to complete our Universal Availability Completion Checklist. Doing so allows ADMIN Partners to maintain the confirmation of the UA requirement for the Plan should the Plan face an audit in the future. We will keep record of this data and can provide historical documentation to the Plan upon request.
Looking for more? Be sure to check out our comprehensive blog posts on UA and contact a member of the ADMIN team with any questions you have surrounding your Plan’s UA requirement at 877-484-4400, Option 1.
