Congress Suspends
Required Minimum Distributions
For 401(k)s And IRAs For
2020
The bipartisan COVID-19 stimulus
bill just
signed by
President Trump includes welcome tax relief for retirees: The required
minimum distribution rules for Individual Retirement Accounts and
401(k)s are waived for 2020. That means that instead of taking money
out this year, retirees can keep their investments growing. The RMD
waiver applies to 403(b) accounts, SEP IRAs, and SIMPLE IRAs. This is a
repeat of the 2009 RMD holiday during the Great Recession.
The rules for who needed to take 2020 RMDs were already funky because
of the SECURE ACT, passed in late December, which changed the age
triggering RMDs from 70 ½ to 72, effective Jan. 1, 2020.
Coronavirus/COVID-19 Information
for CWA
Members
As
the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) continues to affect communities across
the globe, CWA leaders are engaging with employers to ensure that they
are providing CWA members with comprehensive safety and prevention
measures in an environment that encourages open and free communication
without fear of reprisal or negative impacts on pay or continued
employment.
CWA's
Health and Safety department has established a process for locals to
report on what protections employers have put in place as well as for
members to report any incidents of exposure or infection. If you have
been exposed to COVID-19 or are experiencing symptoms consistent with
infection, contact your healthcare provider immediately and follow
reporting procedures established by your employer. Also notify your CWA
Local or District as soon as possible.
