davidt876 II - applies to both defined contribution and benefit, so it's not an incentive to use one over the othe
UcheSam @davidt876 II only applies to Defined Benefit Plant as Defined Contribution Plan does not have pension investment earnings. Pension contributions are expense in the period services was earned, although tax deductible.
