IRS Revenue Ruling 2007-43

The IRS has issued Rev. Rul. 2007-43 which gives guidance on partial plan terminations. Under this ruling, unless it can be shown otherwise based on the facts and circumstances of any particular case, it will be presumed that any employer-initiated termination of 20% or more of the plan participants in an applicable period (usually the plan year) will constitute a partial plan termination. A partial plan termination results in the full vesting of benefits for the effected participants. The 20% calculation is based on the ratio of terminated participants to total participants, regardless of whether any of these participants is non-vested or already 100% vested.
