Be Prepared for the IRS’s New Pre-Approved 403(b) Plan Document Program

The IRS is expected to open its new pre-approved 403(b) plan program May 1, 2017. This new program will be similar to the pre-approval program for qualified retirement plans and will allow 403(b) plan document providers to receive pre-approval of prototype and volume submitter 403(b) plans that they can provide to their adopting employers.

ASC will be offering six (6) pre-approved 403(b) plan types through our industry leading, web-based Document Generation and Management System (DGEM) for easy preparation and delivery to your clients!

• Fully Flexible 403(b) Plan (for 501(c)(3) organizations)
• Simplified 403(b) Plan (for 501(c)(3) organizations)
• Salary Reduction Only 403(b) Plan
• Governmental 403(b) Plan
• Non-Electing 403(b) Church Plan (without retirement income accounts)
• Retirement Income Account 403(b) Church Plan

If you have previously submitted an IRS User Fee to sponsor a pre-approved 403(b) document under another document provider, don’t worry – you can still choose ASC! The IRS will permit document sponsors to switch those applications to another provider (ASC) through January 20, 2017!
