New 403b distribution rules - 403b regulations

One of the new and final regulations to 403 b plans is ones that are funded through annuity contracts. The plan must provide a predetermined formula for distributing the funds in the plan after a fixed number of years or after an occurnace of an event such as a layoff, illness, disability, retirement or death. This is a new 403b distribution rule.

The final regulations also generally follow the 401 k rules for determining whether there is severance from employment, which would permit distributions or omit the ability to make elective deferrals.

For purposes of distributions from a 403b plan, they now provide that a seeverance occurs whan an employee ceases to be employed by an eligible employer that maintains the 403b

An employee transferring from a tax exempt parent to a for profit.
