The SECURE 2.0 Act is now law. The legislation provides changes which could help strengthen the retirement system—as well as Americans' financial readiness for retirement. This session will cover the most important provisions in SECURE 2.0 and what they will mean for retirement plans in the years ahead. 

While SECURE 2.0 contains dozens of provisions, some highlights include large tax credits for new 401k plans, increasing the age at which retirees must begin taking RMDs from IRA and 401(k) accounts, and changes to the size of catch-up contributions for older workers with workplace plans. Additional changes are meant to help younger people continue saving while paying off student debt, making it easier to move accounts from employer to employer, and allowing people to save for emergencies within retirement accounts.  Learn about, understand and be prepared to implement the new law.

Events in Washington DC continue to shape the retirement landscape.

Many bills are being introduced; and some bills have already died. What are the hot topics? What is pushing Americans' buttons? 

Be prepared by learning about these important legislative initiatives and which are likely to move forward in 2023.
