401(a)

A tax-deferred retirement savings plan set up by an employer, the 401(a) plan allows for contributions by the employee, the employer, or both. Contribution amounts, whether dollar-based or percentage-based, eligibility, and vesting schedule are all determined by the sponsoring employer. The term 401(a) comes from 401(a) of the Internal Revenue Code (Title 26 of the United States Code).[1]
