Vested Balance definition
Examples of Vested Balance in a sentence
If the vesting schedule of the Plan is amended, or the Plan is amended in any way that directly or indirectly affects the computation of the vested interest of Participants (or if the Plan is deemed amended by an automatic change to or from a Top-Heavy vesting schedule), each Participant with at least three (3) Years of Service with the Employer may elect, within a reasonable period after the adoption of the amendment, to have his Vested Balance computed under the Plan without regard to such amendment.
Furthermore, no such amendment may decrease the Vested Balance of a Participant, nor may it eliminate or reduce an Early Retirement benefit, nor may it eliminate a Protected Benefit.
No amendment shall, directly or indirectly, decrease (but may increase) a Participant’s Vested Balance in his Employer Account, determined as of the later of the date the amendment is adopted, or the date such amendment is effective.
If the Participant dies after distribution of his Vested Balance has commenced, the remaining portion of such Vested Balance shall continue to be distributed at least as rapidly as under the method of distribution being used prior to the Participant’s death.
If the Participant elects to have distributed less than his entire Vested Balance, the part of the non-vested portion which shall be subject to Forfeiture is the total non-vested portion multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the amount of the distribution from the Employer Account and the denominator of which is the total value of the Employer Account of such Participant.
