The publication also provides examples of the effect of a plan's operation on its qualified status and discusses the reporting requirements for qualified plans. Please read Publication 794.

This letter relates only to the status of your plan under the Internal Revenue Code. It is not a determination regarding the effect of other federal or local statutes.

This determination letter gives no reliance for any qualification change that becomes effective, any guidance published, or any statutes enacted, after the issuance of the Cumulative List (unless the item has been identified in the Cumulative List) for the cycle under which this application was submitted.

Letter 2002 (DO/CG)







This insert provides information regarding a change in the format of the enclosed Favorable Determination Letter (Letter). The enclosed Letter references the applicable cumulative list upon which this determination is based, as well as the date on which the Letter expires. However, the Letter does not delineate the specific amendments and/or plan restatements submitted as part of the application.

Revenue Procedure 2013-6, 2013-1 I.R.B. 198, section 5.02, provides that, in general, employee plans are reviewed by the Service for compliance with the form requirements (that is, those plan provisions that are required as a condition of qualification under § 40 1(a)). In accordance with section 21.01 of Rev. Proc. 2013-6, determination letters are based on the facts and demonstrations presented to the Service in connection with the application for the determination letter. Therefore, the scope of a determination letter is not affected by this change.

As noted in section 21.01, applicants are advised to retain copies of all supporting data submitted with their application.
