Several not-for-profit organizations are contemplating a merger. One of the entities sponsors a 403(b) plan that is subject to ERISA (includes employer match), while two other entities sponsor non-ERISA 403(b) arrangements.
The entities sponsoring the non-ERISA plans will cease existence as part of the merger. Will employees of these former entities be able to transfer custodianship/trusteeship of their 403(b) accounts over to the surviving organization's ERISA 403(b) arrangement?
