When a cross-tested plan initially fails to satisfy nondiscrimination, there still may be options that can be used in order for the test to pass. To find solutions to your cross-testing failures, it's important to understand how cross-testing works. Join nondiscrimination testing expert Kevin Donovan to learn the various testing and design options available and how to use them, including:
- What is an "equivalent benefit rate" and how is it determined?
- How can a benefit rate be "improved" without improving the "benefit"?
- When is average compensation better?
- What other definitions of compensation can be used that will improve testing?
- How do 401(a)(4) and 410(b) interplay?
- What is restructuring and how can it improve testing?
- When can accrued-to-date testing improve results?
- What is gateway testing and what options are there?
