Title: Relief From 3 Percent Mandatory Nonelective Contribution Requirement in Safe Harbor 401(k) Plan 
Abstract: A safe-harbor 401(k) plan is a type of plan that does not have to pass the ADP test of section 401(k)(3)(A)(ii) if certain conditions are met. One of these conditions is a contribution of nonelective or matching contributions. These regulations amend the nonelective contribution requirement by allowing nonelective contributions to be reduced or suspended in the middle of a plan year if certain conditions are met.
