CENSUS & CLASSES

The census for each plan can be imported into using our spreadsheet template and then modified in the system.  Data is validated by our system and errors will be brought to your attention.

Classes can be named from A to ZZ, which allows for over 700 individual classes to be created.

Non-Discrimination Testing and WORKSHEETS

When plans are calculated, the system performs non-discrimination testing and produces detailed results for each of the following tests:

  • Minimum Participation (401(a)(26))

  • Average Benefit Percentage Test (410(b)-5(a))

  • Minimum Allocation Gateway

  • Rate Group Test (401(a)(4))

  • Combined Plan Limit ((404)(a)(7))

Worksheets may be used to pinpoint what's holding you back from passing any failed test.
