Description
A Cash Balance Plan is a defined benefit plan that expresses benefits for each employee by reference to the amount in a Cash Balance Account. The balance grows based on interest credits as defined in the pension plan. Most Cash Balance Plans permit distribution of the employee’s entire accrued benefit in the form of a single-sum after termination of employment. Alternatively, the employee is typically given the option of leaving the balance in the account to earn interest and then converting the Cash Balance to one of the pension plan’s annuity options on an actuarially equivalent basis once they become eligible for retirement.
