Plan Features/Benefits

Cash balance or similar plan - Plan has a "cash balance" formula. For this purpose, a "cash balance" formula is a benefit formula in a defined benefit plan by whatever name (for example, personal account plan, pension equity plan, life cycle plan, cash account plan, etc.) that rather than, or in addition to, expressing the accrued benefit as a life annuity commencing at normal retirement age, defines benefits for each employee in terms more common to a defined contribution plan such as a single sum distribution amount (for example, 10 percent of final average pay times years of service, or the amount of the employee's hypothetical account balance).
Covered by PBGC - Plan is covered under the PBGC insurance program (see ERISA section 4021).
Frozen Plan - As of the last day of the plan year, the plan provides that no participant will get any new benefit accrual (whether because of service or compensation).
