Does anyone here participate in the Non-Qualified Benefit Equalization Plan (BEP) at BMS? Appears to be a deferred compensation plan. Allows individuals to contribute pre-tax money (after maxing out 401K/Roth). Looks like BMS will match up to 6% of eligible income into this plan. Its tax deferred until withdrawals.
I was concerned because it says that the accounts are unfunded and paid from the general assets of BMS. These assets are subject to claims of creditors. Unlike the BMS 401K which are protected away in a trust.
I intend to max out my 401K first. But is it worth contributing additional money to this plan?
