Discretionary Matching Contributions for the Cycle 4 DC Plans

Q. What is the IRS position on discretionary matching contributions for the Cycle 4 DC plans?

A: The IRS position is that all elements of the discretionary matching formula must be definite, i.e. the allocation formula (which might include the defining of participant groups), computation period, and the need for a true-up—that is, adjusting to make up for discrepancies between actual and estimated costs.
