Early this year, Congress added another piece to the Roth puzzle - In-plan Roth transfers. The first piece was the Roth IRAs. Next came the Roth 401(k) and 403(b) deferrals. Later, Roth 457 plans were included. In 2010, Congress added the in-plan Roth rollovers. Each piece brings its own set of requirements, as well as recordkeeping challenges. In this web seminar, we will explain all of the Roth rules, placing the new in-plan Roth transfer into perspective. Whether you love them or hate it, Roth is becoming a significant part of the retirement landscape, and it is necessary to understand all of the requirements.

“It’s my money and I want it now” is a common refrain from participants during turbulent economic times. Plan Administrators are faced with a constant barrage of loan requests, hardship withdrawal requests, and QDROs. Some of these requests might be creative and not meet the standards of the law and regulations. This webcast will review some of the more advanced situations and the rules associated with them. Also discussed will be suggested corrective actions when things are not run properly.

Employee benefits plan audits can be challenging each year. When you take into account that CPAs and TPAs do not always speak the same language, things can get even more complicated. In this webcast, CariAnn and Adam will bring their perspectives as a CPA and a TPA to present case studies of both straightforward and unusual audit issues and discuss how to make the process one of collaboration rather than chaos.
