Description

A defined benefit pension plan is a type of pension plan in which an employer or sponsor promises a specified pension payment, lump-sum (or combination thereof) on retirement that is predetermined by a formula based on the employee's earnings history, tenure of service and age, rather than depending directly on individual investment returns. Traditionally, many governmental and public entities, as well as a large number of corporations, provided defined benefit plans, sometimes as a means of compensating workers in lieu of increased pay. A defined benefit plan is "defined" in the sense that the benefit formula is defined and known in advance. Conversely, for a "defined contribution retirement saving plan", the formula for computing the employer's and employee's contributions is defined and known in advance, but the benefit to be paid out is not known in advance.

FAQ

The main disadvantage of a defined benefit plan is that the employer will often require a minimum amount of service. Although private employer pension plans are backed by the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corp up to a certain amount, government pension plans don't have the same, albeit sometimes shaky guarantees.

Examples of defined contribution plans include 401(k) plans, 403(b) plans, employee stock ownership plans, and profit-sharing plans.

A surviving spouse can collect 100 percent of the late spouse's benefit if the survivor has reached full retirement age, but the amount will be lower if the deceased spouse claimed benefits before he or she reached full retirement age.

Defined benefit plans provide a fixed, pre-established benefit for employees at retirement. Employees often value the fixed benefit provided by this type of plan. On the employer side, businesses can generally contribute (and therefore deduct) more each year than in defined contribution plans.

Based on the language in the pension plan, the pension may go automatically to the spouse. If the employee is not married at the time of his or her death, it may go to the children or the employee's next of kin.

Some pensions end at death, but many pensions provide for payments to a surviving spouse or dependent children. Survivors may be entitled to part of the payments the person would have received. (Pensions for government employees are often generous when it comes to survivors benefits.)

When a retired worker passes away, pensions and other retirement benefits can pass on to loved ones. It is possible to inherit a pension from a parent, although retirement benefits typically pass on to surviving spouses before children.

In most cases, any pensions you have can be passed outside of your estate and so won't be subject to Inheritance Tax. However, for this to be the case, the pension scheme administrator would need to have discretion as to who the benefits are paid to.

Some may feel that this question is easy to answer: pension funds are legal entities separate from the corporation. This distinction was made more explicit with the enactment of the Employees Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA).

A Pension Plan Trust Account is a subaccount that holds assets for a qualified pension. Pension Plan Trust client accounts are trust accounts containing assets beneficially owned by a number of underlying Pension Plan participants.
