401-A PLAN
Money-purchase retirement savings plan put up by an employer in which an employee, employer, or both can make contributions. The sponsoring employer determines the amount of contributions (dollar-based or percentage-based), qualification, and vesting schedule. Funds are taken out from a 401(a) plan through a lump-sum payment, annuity, or rollovers to another qualified plan.
