User-centric templates streamline the restatement process and help minimize the cost of compliance
"ftwilliam.com's Cycle 3 documents boast unrivaled flexibility for benefit formulas in Cash Balance plans, including the ability to specify opening account balances by group and provide automatic increases for pay credits," said Charles A. Brown, Actuarial Director for Wolters Kluwer's ftwilliam.com. "Our cloud-based compliance software's integration with the documents reduces both duplicative data entry and costs throughout the process, providing increased efficiency and profitability to our customers."
Providing modern, cloud-based employee benefits software, ftwilliam.com's offerings include retirement plan documents, government forms, compliance testing, and reporting and distribution tracking. ftwilliam.com also offers a new Plan Design Summary (PDS) tool which can help streamline proposals and the restatement process. For example, a template can be built in PDS to track and communicate document changes to clients during the restatement process.
Every six years, pre-approved retirement plan documents need to be restated to include IRS-mandated language that reflects new legal and regulatory requirements. The Cycle 3 Defined Benefit and Cash Balance plan documents available on ftwilliam.com include an IRC 401(a)(26) failsafe provision that automatically minimizes the cost of compliance to the lowest dollar amount possible. Those documents also provide a method for matching pay credits to the IRC 415 limit and new death benefit options to better accommodate insurance in plans.
Retirement plan service providers who are not currently using ftwilliam.com for Defined Benefit or Cash Balance documents can convert their current PPA plans over to the new Cycle 3 documents and take advantage of the integration between the software's document module and Defined Benefit Compliance software for 2023 administration. The IRS window for the pre-approved Defined Benefit and Cash Balance plans runs through March 31, 2025.
