Do the new requirements regarding Plan provisions apply to all eligible Participants or only those people who have an account and are receiving some sort of statement?

Maybe I am missing your point. Why send a stmt to someone explaining diversification and all that jazz when they have zero balance?

Seems about as sensible as sending a diversification statement to someone that's going to take a distribution when they change jobs. I could be wrong, but in the plans that I work with the problem isn't with diversification....premature distributions make this whole vesting and diversification statement pointless.

Janet, it sure seems pointless to me. I wondered if I was missing something or if it is specifically required somewhere.

Right now, I'm leaning toward skipping all eligible Participants with no account balance. Some of my 401(k) Plans have many of those.
