Description: This is a panel discussion about H.R. 10 pension plans, i.e., tax deferred retirement savings plans for the owners of an unincorporated business and its employees. The following questions are addressed: To what extent is coverage under H.R. 10 being provided under individual policies and under group contracts? What problems are presented in each approach? If special plans are used, what provisions must be included? If normal contracts are used, what modifications or endorsements must be made? What plans are generally used? If split-funding is not used with normal contracts, how are increases in contributions handled? To what extent are trust or custodial accounts being used?
