Am I "covered" by employer plan?
Terminated my employment on the last day of last pay period of 2017 but stayed in a "casual" status. They needed some help the last week of the year so I obliged. That was paid in the first pay period in 2018. I did not contribute to anything into the 401K but the employer contributed $17.60 in matching funds. I did not work further in 2018. I later terminated my casual status. At that point I receive a disbursement for the matching funds and later I received a disbursement for "safe harbor" (profit sharing) funds that I assume were for the year 2017, all of which zeroed the 401K. When I received my W-2 the "pension plan" box was checked. I assume that the $17.60 pretty much makes me covered but I would like to hear if anyone has other opinions. Thanks.
