  4.  Modified 403(b) plan Listing of Required Modifications coming soon

In conjunction with establishing the 403(b) pre-approved plan program in 2013, the IRS issued sample plan language - 403(b) Plans Listing of Required Modifications (LRMs) - that sponsors of 403(b) pre-approved plans may use to draft their plans.

The modified 403(b) LRMs will be available before the April 30, 2015, deadline to submit a 403(b) pre-approved plan under the program. Section 403(b) pre-approved plan sponsors will have an opportunity to make changes to reflect the modified 403(b) LRMs.
