Retiree care commitments: the unfunded dilemma

Article Abstract:

Many CFOs are faced with the decision of whether to pre-fund or not. A company committed to providing health care benefits to retirees essentially chooses to fund and the most intelligent choice is the 401 (h) account. This account provides three tax preference levels and these are tax-free earnings, tax-free payout for retiree health costs and deduction for contributions. The 501 (c)(9) voluntary employees' beneficiary associations trust is also a good choice.

Selecting a third party administrator is no easy task

Article Abstract:

Choosing a third party administrator (TPA) to manage a retirement plan could pose problems such as the TPA's lack of technical expertise which could cause plan disqualification, flexibility when complex problems arise and service inefficiency. A certified public accountant or a qualified TPA with the experience and technical knowledge, although probably more expensive, ensures good service.
