(b)    As permitted by Treasury Reg. §1.409A-3(j)(4)(vi), the Administrator may accelerate distribution of a Participant’s benefit to pay the Federal Insurance Contributions Act (FICA) withholding associated with Plan benefits and the income tax at source imposed under Code Section 3401 and corresponding withholding provisions of applicable state, local or foreign tax laws as a result of payment of the FICA amount, plus the additional income tax at source on wages attributable to the pyramiding Code Section 3401 wages and taxes. The total distribution under this subsection (b) shall not exceed the aggregate of the FICA tax amount and the income tax withholding related to the FICA tax amount.
If a distribution is made under this subsection (b), the future payments due the Participant or beneficiary shall be actuarially adjusted to offset the amount of the distribution.
