Common use of Flat Offset Benefit Clause in Contracts

Flat Offset Benefit. In applying a Flat Offset Benefit formula, if a Participant’s cumulative disparity years exceed 35, the gross percentage and offset percentage under the formula will be reduced as provided below. For this purpose, a Participant’s cumulative disparity years consist of. (I) the Participant’s projected Years of Participation (up to 35); (II) any years the Participant benefited (or is treated as having benefited) under this Plan prior to the Participant’s first Year of Participation; and (III) any years credited to the Participant for allocation or accrual purposes under one or more qualified plans or simplified employee pension plans (whether or not terminated) ever maintained by the Employer (other than years counted in (I) or (II) above). For purposes of determining the Participant’s cumulative disparity years, all years ending in the same calendar year are treated as the same year. If the Cumulative Disparity Limit applies, the offset percentage will be reduced by multiplying such percentage by a fraction (not less than O), the numerator of which is 35 minus the sum of the years in (II) and (III) above, and the denominator of which is 35. The gross benefit percentage will be reduced by the number of percentage points by which the offset percentage is reduced.
