<P>The 403(b) presentation will cover the past, present, and near future of 403(b) plans. Cheryl Press, Senior Counsel, Office of Chief Counsel (TEGE), will provide a brief history of 403(b) plans, the basics of how they have operated in the past, and how developments over the past 40 years led to the issuance of the recent final regulations for 403(b) plans. Jason Levine, Tax Law Specialist, will briefly recap the more significant changes brought about by the final regulations including a discussion of the written plan document requirement for 403(b) plans. In addition, Mr. Levine will discuss the upcoming Pre-approved Plan program that will, for the first time, allow 403(b) eligible employers to adopt prototype or volume submitter plans that receive an opinion letter or advisory letter, respectively, from the Service.</P>
