Lincoln Puts Out 403(b) Service Suite

Lincoln National Corp. unveiled a suite of services designed to help 403(b) sponsors comply with Internal Revenue Service (IRS) regulations.

A Lincoln press release said its 403(b)e SURE offering is also aimed at helping sponsors simplify their plan administration. According to the release, the service includes representatives specializing in disciplines such as law, compliance, and account management.

The offering provides plan document services, including a sample document for non-ERISA (Employee Retirement Income Security Act) plans and custom document services for ERISA plans. The Lincoln Unifier Service is included in the offering to help employers meet the administrative burden of bringing their plan into compliance.

The release said the service also includes Lincoln LifeSpan, a participant learning program that offers customized tools and materials designed to help employees build their investment skills.

“While the new 403(b) regulations increase employer responsibility, the Lincoln 403(b)e SURE Advantage solution can ease their burden by providing a streamlined, simplified solution, ” said Wes Thompson, president of Lincoln Employer Markets, in the release. “Lincoln’s suite of services enable employers to meet the new administrative requirements while allowing their participants to reach a more secure retirement.”
