INSTRUCTIONS

The Termination Form is used to process Plan distributions due to a participant’s termination of employment (due to retirement, disability, and in the event of Plan termination). All sections must be completed in full for your request to be processed.

STEP 1 Participant Information

Please print and complete this section in full.

STEP 2 Reason for Distribution

Check one box as the reason for distribution and enter the termination date (this will be the date that your employment with your employer terminated or the date your employer terminated the Plan. Check with your Plan Administrator if you do not know this date). If you checked Disability as a Reason for Distribution, see your Summary Plan Description to determine if you meet the Plan’s definition of disability; and, if you have Roth 401(k) money in the Plan, also see Note on “Roth Disability” in Step 3

STEP 3 Funds Disbursement Election

  • Check one box as the reason for distribution and enter the termination date (this will be the date that your employment with your employer terminated or the date your employer terminated the Plan. Check with your Plan Administrator if you do not know this date). If you checked Disability as a Reason for Distribution, see your Summary Plan Description to determine if you meet the Plan’s definition of disability; and, if you have Roth 401(k) money in the Plan, also see Note on “Roth Disability” in Step 3.
  • Check one box (A, B, or C) to identify how you want to be paid and make the applicable elections within each section.
  • If you request a 100% cash distribution, you will receive one check payable to you.
  • If you request a 100% Rollover, you will receive one check payable to the Institution or Trustee that you indicate on this Form in Step 4.
  • If you request a portion of the distribution to be rolled over and a portion to be paid to you in cash, you will receive 2 checks: one payable to the Rollover Institution/Trustee and one payable to yourself.
  • If you elect to Rollover your taxable amounts and receive a cash distribution of the remaining non-taxable amounts, but your Roth distribution doesn’t qualify as a qualified Roth distribution (see below), you will receive 3 checks: one check consisting of your pre-tax amounts for you to rollover to a pre-tax account, one consisting of your Roth earnings for you to rollover to a Roth account and a third separate check to you in cash for your Roth (and after-tax, if any) contributions.
  • Note: The “Partial Distribution” and “Installments” options are not available if the reason for your distribution is the termination of the Plan or your account balance (excluding any rollover account under the Plan) is less than $5,000 or less. Any outstanding loan balance will be deducted from the value of a Partial Distribution or Installment.

STEP 4 Rollover Information

  • If you requested a Rollover in Step 3, complete section A and/or B in Step 4. Select the type of account to which the Rollover will be made and complete the Name of the Rollover Institution/Trustee to which the check should be made payable. Note: If you are rolling over a distribution to another employer plan, please check with the plan administrator of such plan on specific requirements needed to make the rollover and the specific types of money that the employer plan will accept.
  • Note on Direct Rollovers of Pre-tax Amounts to a Roth IRA: Direct rollovers are not subject to mandatory federal tax withholding. Therefore, ADP will not withhold any federal tax amount on direct rollovers, including direct rollovers of pre-tax amounts to a Roth IRA which must be included in your taxable income. Therefore, you should make sure you are able to pay all required income taxes in connection with such a rollover. You are strongly encouraged to consult with your tax advisor before making your election.
