                        deposit in such parallel account for at least 1 
                        year,
                            (ii) from earnings in such parallel 
                        account, after all matching funds described in 
                        clause (i) have been withdrawn, and
                            (iii) to the extent such withdrawal does 
                        not result in a remaining balance in such 
                        parallel account which is less than the 
                        remaining balance in the Individual Development

then such owner shall forfeit from the parallel account the lesser of 
such excess or the amount withdrawn.
    (c) Withdrawals From Accounts of Noneligible Individuals.--If the 
individual for whose benefit an Individual Development Account is 
established ceases to be an eligible individual, such account shall 
remain an Individual Development Account, but such individual shall not 
be eligible for any further matching funds under section 506(b)(1)(A) 
for contributions which are made to the Account during any taxable year 
when such individual is not an eligible individual.
    (d) Effect of Pledging Account as Security.--If, during any taxable 
year of the individual for whose benefit an Individual Development 
Account is established, that individual uses the Account, the 
individual's parallel account, or any portion thereof as security for a 
loan, the portion so used shall be treated as a withdrawal of such 
portion from the Individual Development Account for purposes other than 
to pay qualified expenses.
