In late 2019, the Setting Every Community Up for Retirement Enhancement (SECURE) Act made significant changes to the rules for making contributions to and withdrawing from retirement accounts. A mere three months later, the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act was passed and changed things up again, i.e., it created special distribution options and rollover rules for retirement plans and IRAs and expanded permissible loans from certain retirement plans.
Discuss new developments under the SECURE and CARES Act. Plus, review the DOL’s final word on regulating the electronic delivery of required participant disclosures.
