EMPLOYEE PLANS

Rev. Rul. 2004–57, page 1048. Governmental plan; union; section 457(b). This ruling holds that a deferred compensation plan does not fail to be an eligible governmental plan under section 457(b) of the Code merely because the plan is created, offered, and administered by a union, provided adoption of the plan meets certain criteria set forth in the ruling.

Announcement 2004–52, page 1071. Correction; section 457; Rev. Rul. 2004–57. A transition rule is set forth for a plan established before June 14, 2004, that does not satisfy the requirements of Rev. Rul. 2004–57 solely as a result of being established and maintained by a labor organization instead of being established and maintained by an eligible governmental employer.
