A Church group consisting of churches and schools provides a group life insurance benefit at 1 1/2 salary for its employees and pays 100% of the premium. It is NOT subject to ERISA but it takes a business expense deduction for the paid premium so it is subject IRS tax regulations.
The Church wants to make it mandatory that the life insurance beneficiary of the ministers (ministers only) is a trust established to provide medical services for retired and infirmed ministers.
Can they legally do this?
