A couple of additional comments: a 403(B) does not require either discrimination testing (except for the universal availability rule for salary reduction contributions) or Forms 5500 if it is a governmental or church plan. If it is not, then JWBrown has provided a summary of the ERISA coverage rules. Note, however, that the
403(B) nondiscrimination rules for salary reduction contributions are much less onerous than the comparable
401(k) rules, as they require only universal availability, not ADP testing of actual contributions.
