Nope, employer support can be withdrawn at any time. Plans can be started or ended at will. Think of it like a bonus, can be paid or not paid discretionally, and 401(k) participation is NEVER included in employment contracts (which in themselves are rare anyway). But the unfunded kind I mentioned, when used, are sometimes included in employment contracts for upper level employees. But not always. egd;357691 Wrote: > and fund and/or tax rules would also dictate mandatory drawdown at some > point Yes, this is normal, if tax rules are involved when something goes in, they also are involved when something comes out. But if one of the other kinds of plans I mentioned, tax rule attention is very light. egd;357691 Wrote: > forcing a selling down of a portion or all of your portfolio.
