ASPPA Webcast: Cross-Tested Plan Workshop: Designing, Testing, and Troubleshooting [Updated for SECURE Act 2.0]

Available until Thursday,  February 22, 2024

Speaker: Stephen Forbes, J.D., LL.M., President, Forbes Retirement Plan Consulting

Description: Cross-tested plans are one of the more attractive plan designs. Changes made by SECURE Act 2.0 have made them even more attractive. Combining the cross-tested plan with a 401(k) plan (particularly a Safe Harbor 401(k) Plan) increases plan contributions and provides flexibility. To accommodate different fact patterns, it is critical that practitioners not only understand how to design the plans, but also how to test such plans, and how to troubleshoot the plans when the design no longer works. In this webcast, we will use practical examples to help you obtain the skills to make your cross-tested plan practice grow.

Learning Objectives:

  1. Design a cross-tested plan 
  2. Test a cross-tested plan 
  3. Troubleshoot a cross-tested plan that no longer works 
  4. Combine a cross-tested plan with a 401(k) plan 
  5. Apply SECURE Act 2.0 changes
