Abstract
The Setting Every Community Up for Retirement Enhancement Act of 2019 (the “SECURE Act”), signed into law on December 20th, has a wide-ranging impact on tax-qualified retirement plans and individual retirement accounts, through amendments to the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (the “Code”) and the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (“ERISA”), and administrative directives to the IRS and the U.S. Department of Labor.
The initiatives in the SECURE Act are intended to encourage increased access to tax advantaged retirement accounts and make employer-sponsored retirement plans less cumbersome and expensive for employers. The Act’s provisions also include provisions that reflect sweeping changes in modern day demographics.
For employer retirement plans, the SECURE Act will necessitate changes to plan documents, administration and employee communications regarding required minimum distributions and the 401(k) eligibility of certain part-time employees. It also provides greater flexibility for employers in utilizing 401(k) “safe harbors” and satisfying compliance for “frozen” pension plans. The following discusses these and other key SECURE Act provisions.
