Tax-qualified retirement plans are permitted to provide for a mandatory cash-out distribution of a participant's benefit under the plan without the participant's consent following a participant's termination of employment if the benefit is $5,000 or less. The Economic Growth and Tax Relief Reconciliation Act of 2001 ("EGTRRA") changed the rules for mandatory cash-out distributions to participants in tax-qualified retirement plans.
