Form And Line ReferenceSchedule L, Part II Loans To/From Interested PersonsFormAndLineReferenceDesc
ExplanationThe organization provides supplemental retirement benefits through an arrangement the IRS refers to as "collateral assignment split dollar" (CASD). Although the IRS requires reporting in Part II, above, for loans to interested persons, CASD is not an actual loan. There is neither a transfer of funds to the participant nor an obligation for the participant to repay those funds. Instead, the organization recovers its outlays plus interest from the underlying policy. The recovery right is a key advantage of CASD. With traditional deferred compensation, the organization pays the benefit from corporate assets, never to recover those dollars. With CASD, the organization recovers not only its outlays, but also interest that takes into account the time value of money. In CASD, the organization deposits dollars directly into a life insurance policy, with the organization holding a lien on the policy to ensure repayment. At specified times and subject to vesting requirements, the participant may borrow from the cash value of the policy to supplement retirement income (provided there are sufficient policy values). Borrowing is carefully monitored and limited to assure that the policy will remain in effect until the participant's death and will pay a death benefit at least sufficient to repay the organization's outlays plus interest. Any remaining death proceeds are divided between the organization and the executive's beneficiary as specified in the agreement.ExplanationTxt
