FAQs

How do I add a new investment provider to my authorized list of providers?

Can I make changes to the features in my organization’s plan?

Yes, as the Plan Sponsor, you can make changes to the features in your plan at any time. OMNI/TSACG works with employers to customize a plan document to their specific needs. If you would like to make changes to your plan features, please contact Plan Support at 888-777-5827 or email the team at plansupport@tsacg.com.

Will online Salary Reduction Agreement (SRA) forms be sufficient in the event of an IRS audit?

Yes. When a participant completes an online SRA, the changes entered and confirmed by your employee are memorialized in the fund change e-mail you receive. Furthermore, OMNI/TSACG retains electronic records of each SRA (including IP addresses) that can be provided to you at a moment’s notice.

What is the difference between an elective and a non-elective contribution?

An elective contribution is a paycheck deferral made by the employee to his 403(b)/457(b) plan. To initiate the elective contribution, the employee must open a 403(b)/457(b) account and either complete a Salary Reduction Agreement (SRA) via OMNI/TSACG’s website or complete a paper SRA form and submit it to your designated office, i.e., Payroll, etc., based on the SRA method you utilize.

In contrast, non-elective contributions are funds, you, as the employer, choose to direct towards an individual’s 403(b) account, regardless if employees make their own contributions. These contributions come directly from the employer and are not deducted from employee’s salaries. Importantly, the employer and the employee never pay FICA and Medicare on non-elective contributions.

How do I know when an employee reaches his/her maximum allowable contribution limit?

As part of OMNI/TSACG’s services, we continually track each participant’s maximum allowable contribution (MAC) limit throughout the year. OMNI/TSACG notifies you when the employee is getting close to reaching his/her MAC, as well as when the employee has reached his/her MAC. In addition, OMNI/TSACG’s compliance checks will identify the excess funds and return them to the employer prior to the funds being sent to the investment provider.

What should I do if I receive a 403(b)/457(b) audit letter from the IRS?

As part of our all-inclusive services, OMNI/TSACG provides our clients with full IRS audit assistance. In fact, OMNI/TSACG has successfully assisted in over 120 IRS audits. If you receive an IRS audit letter, please contact your Plan Consultant or our Plan Support team at 888-777-5827 or via email to plansupport@tsacg.com.
