Deferral and/or Distribution Elections Sample Clauses

The Deferral and/or Distribution Elections clause allows participants in a plan or agreement to choose when and how they will receive certain payments or benefits. Typically, this clause outlines the procedures and deadlines for making these elections, such as specifying a future date for payment or selecting between lump sum and installment options. Its core practical function is to provide flexibility and control over the timing and form of distributions, helping participants manage tax implications and personal financial planning.
