The funding bill passed by Congress in late December 2020 includes temporary relief from partial plan terminations for sponsors of qualified retirement plans if certain conditions are met. This relief aims to assist plan sponsors with temporarily reduced workforces due to the COVID-19 pandemic, preventing partial plan terminations if plan participation is sufficiently increased by March 31, 2021. The law specifies that a plan does not have a partial plan termination during any plan year that includes the period from March 13, 2020, through March 31, 2021, provided the number of participants on March 31, 2021, is at least 80% of the number on March 13, 2020. However, operational questions remain, particularly for plans that have already determined a partial plan termination and are receiving requests to distribute benefits before March 31, 2021.
