Session Description

The SECURE Act passed in December 2019 was the first major legislation affecting retirement plans since 2006.  Quickly after, due to COVID-19, the CARES Act followed.  We’ll summarize how these regulatory changes affect 401(k) Plans and what action Plan Sponsors must take.  Trends observed in the industry for both employers and employees will also be shared.
