The 4-1-1(k): A SECURE 2.0 Provision’s “Grand” Impact on Emergency and Retirement Savings
How big of a difference can $1K make? For retirement plan engagement, the answer could depend on how well RPAs and recordkeepers understand and communicate the relationship between short-term and long-term savings to plan sponsors and their benefit-eligible employees. Under the SECURE 2.0 Act, employees can withdraw up to $1,000 once a year from their traditional 401(k) retirement accounts for self-identified emergencies, without paying the 10% early withdrawal tax. Research and thought leadership from Commonwealth, BlackRock’s Emergency Savings Initiative, Compass Financial Partners, a Marsh & McLennan Agency LLC Company, and Voya Financial sheds light on the wide-ranging needs of employees in a geographically diverse workforce, and how a suite of emergency savings and liquidity options can best serve workers, and where the new provision fits into those options. This webinar will: ● Dive into the impacts of SECURE 2.0’s $1K withdrawal provision on retirement plan engagement ● Share the RPA and recordkeeper's points of view on the implementation and impact of emergency savings benefits ● Provide tangible action steps for attendees to consider adopting a proactive provision promotion approach for their teams All views and opinions expressed by panelists are their own and are not intended to be those of sponsoring or partner organizations.
