Defining Group Pension Plans

To define a group pension plan, end users must perform the following steps:

• Define a group pension plan.

• Specify plan rules. End users use the Rules view tab to define the types of rules that govern the selected group pension plan.

• Define participant classes. End users define different groups of plan participants in the Classes view tab.

• Record key plan contacts. End users use the Contacts view tab to define key contacts associated with the selected plan. These contacts are not plan participants, but consist of key individuals associated with the selected plan such as a plan administrator, trustee, or investment committee member.

• Enter billing information. End users use the Bill To view tab to specify high-level payment information, such as payment frequency and a billing address.
