Diane M. Morgenthaler and Jeffrey M. Holdvogt recently presented the webinar “Student Loan Benefits and Other 401(k) Developments” at the Worldwide Employee Benefits Network Chicagoland program. In the presentation, they discussed a variety of new 401(k) trends and developments, including:
Employer options for student loan benefits and related considerations;
The IRS’s recent expansion of its determination letter program to certain hybrid and merged plans; and
New changes to EPCRS, the IRS’s comprehensive program for correcting tax-qualified plan failures.
For more information on these and other developments, please see our On the Subjects on the SECURE Act and the changes to EPCRS.
The IRS recently released an updated version of EPCRS, the IRS’s program for correcting errors that occur under tax-qualified retirement plans. The latest version of EPCRS makes it easier for plan sponsors to self-correct certain types of plan loan, operational and plan document failures without filing a VCP submission.
