Question text: | What type of pension plan or retirement account provided this distribution?
Some pension plans and retirement accounts base benefits on a formula involving age, years of service and salary, often called a defined benefit plan. Some plans base benefits on how much money has accumulated in a person's pension or retirement account, often called a defined contribution plan. Other plans use both ways of setting benefits. Was the plan that gave you a distribution a defined benefit formula type or a defined contribution account type plan? Defined Contribution plans include 401-K, 403-B, ESOP, SRA, thrift/savings, stock/profit sharing, and money purchase plans. |
