Idaho Admin. Code r. 59.01.01.507

Current through September 2, 2024
Section 59.01.01.507 - DIRECT ROLLOVERS OUT OF THE BASE PLAN

A direct rollover is a payment by the plan to an eligible retirement plan specified by the distributee.

01.Rollover Election. Notwithstanding any provision of the plan to the contrary that would otherwise limit a distributee's election under this part, a distributee may elect, at the time and in the manner prescribed by the plan administrator, to have any portion of an eligible rollover distribution that is equal to at least five hundred dollars ($500) paid directly to an eligible retirement plan specified by the distributee in a direct rollover.
02.Eligible Rollover Distribution. An eligible rollover distribution is any distribution of all or any portion of the balance to the credit of the distributee, except that an eligible rollover distribution does not include:
a. Any distribution that is one (1) of a series of substantially equal periodic payments (not less frequently than annually) made for the life (or life expectancy) of the distributee or the joint lives (or joint life expectancies) of the distributee and the distributee's designated beneficiary, or for a specified period of ten (10) years or more;
b. Any distribution to the extent such distribution is required under section 401(a)(9) of the IRS Code);
c. Any amount that is distributed on account of hardship;
d. The portion of any distribution that is not includable in gross income (determined without regard to the exclusion for net unrealized appreciation with respect to employer securities); and
e. Any other distribution(s) that is reasonably expected to total less than two hundred dollars ($200) during a year.
03.After-Tax Contributions. For purposes of the direct rollover provisions in Subsection 507.02, a portion of a distribution shall not fail to be an eligible rollover distribution merely because the portion consists of after-tax employee contributions that are not includable in gross income. However, such portion may be transferred only to an individual retirement account or annuity described in section 408(a) or (b) of the IRS Code, or to a qualified defined contribution plan described in section 401(a) or 403(a) of the IRS Code that agrees to separately account for the amounts so transferred, including separately accounting for the portion of such distribution which is includable in gross income and the portion of such distribution which is not so includable.
04.Eligible Retirement Plan. An eligible retirement plan is an individual retirement account described in section 408(a) of the IRS Code, an individual retirement annuity described in section 408(b) of the IRS Code, a Roth IRA described in Section 408A of the IRS Code, an annuity plan described in section 403(a) of the IRS Code, an annuity contract described in section 403(b) of the IRS Code, an eligible plan under section 457(b) of the IRS Code which is maintained by a state, political subdivision of a state, or any agency or instrumentality of a state or political subdivision of a state and which agrees to separately account for amounts transferred into such plan from this plan, or a qualified plan described in section 401(a) of the IRS Code, that accepts the distributee's eligible rollover distribution.
05.Alternate Payees. A distributee includes an employee or former employee. In addition, the employee's or former employee's surviving spouse and the employee's or former employee's spouse or former spouse, who is the alternate payee under a domestic retirement order, approved as provided in Sections 59-1319 and 1320, Idaho Code, are distributees with regard to the interest of the spouse or former spouse.
