This CLE webinar will provide ERISA counsel, plan administrators, and employers guidance on new rules for retirement plans under SECURE Act 2.0. The panel will discuss key provisions of the SECURE Act 2.0, including new distribution options, along with the Act’s impact on other retirement plan requirements, as well as offer methods to ensure compliance for plan sponsors.

Description

SECURE 2.0 contains a number of provisions that significantly change qualified retirement plan design and operations. ERISA attorneys, plan administrators, and plan sponsors assess the impact of SECURE 2.0 on their existing tax-qualified retirement plans and consider whether and how to implement the new distribution options for retirement plans, along with other opportunities and challenges stemming from the new law.

SECURE 2.0 undoubtedly presents administrative and compliance challenges. It expands distribution options, including new penalty-free distributions and new options relating to hardship distributions, delays required minimum distributions to ages 73 and 75, and significantly changes how catch-up contributions are made. Plans must be aware of these mandatory and optional changes, including the necessary documentation and requirements for adopting formal plan amendments.

Listen as our panel discusses the key provisions of SECURE 2.0 and its impact on retirement plans and offers best practices for ERISA compliance for plan sponsors and administrators.
