The Treasury Department’s Internal Revenue Service is responsible for ensuring compliance with the Internal Revenue Code, which establishes the rules for operating a “tax-qualified” retirement plan, including funding and vesting requirements. A plan that is “tax-qualified” can offer special tax benefits both to the employer sponsoring the plan and to the participants who receive retirement benefits. The IRS maintains a toll-free taxpayer assistance line for employee plans at 877.829.5500.
The Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation, PBGC, a nonprofit, federally created corporation, guarantees payment of certain pension benefits under defined benefit plans that are terminated with insufficient money to pay benefits. The PBGC may be contacted at 1200 K Street, N.W., Washington, D.C. 20005, telephone: 202.326.4000. |
