Beginning September 1, 2019, the IRS is expanding its retirement plan determination letter program to apply to certain individually designed statutory hybrid and merged plans. Employers sponsoring hybrid plans not previously reviewed by the IRS for required (or other) plan changes, and employers that have or will merge two or more of their plans together in connection with a corporate transaction, should consider taking advantage of this expanded determination letter program.
