Does a 403b have a beneficiary?
Only inherited 403(b) accounts can be rolled into an inherited IRA. A beneficiary inheriting a 403(b) account has several options including the inherited rollover option, cash-out distribution, or maintaining the funds within the plan based on the balance size and terms of the plan document.
