Suggested Answer: B 🗳️
The false statement is that the earnings on the plans contributions remain untaxed until they are withdrawn. Earnings on non-qualified employer- sponsored retirement plans do not grow tax-deferred except for a special situation in which a sizeable forfeiture risk exists. All the other statements are true since non-qualified employer-sponsored plans are exempt from most, if not all, of ERISAs requirements.
