Element: SourceGroup

Name SourceGroup
Type SourceGroupType
Documentation (of type) Dictionary Entry Name: Source Group. Details

Definition: Contains a collection of information defining or specifying a "Source Group." A Source Group is a collection savings plan or investment Contribution Sources. These contribution sources are aggregated for the purposes making investment allocations or specifying distributions. For example, a savings plan participant might combine all employee deferral sources (Base, Bonus) into a single source group.

Usage Rule: Note that HR-XML's Savings Plan Enrollment schema flexibly accomodates different approaches for handling contribution sources. Some plans may organize contribution sources into "Source Groups," which then are referenced in elections. Other plans may simply specify the individual contribution source(s) associated with each election. Generally speaking, implementers might use one or the other of these approaches but not both. Note that the schema does not enforce this usage.
