9 Coverage Challenge middle class workers are 15 times more likely to save for their families retirement at work than on their own.
10 Over 20 million private sector workers earning between $30K-$100K do not have access to a retirement plan at work.
11 Federal Response President Obama s MyRA Proposal I will direct the Treasury to create a new way for working Americans to start their own retirement savings: MyRA. It's a new savings bond that encourages folks to build a nest egg. MyRA guarantees a decent return with no risk of losing what you put in. - President Obama, State of the Union, January 28, 2014 Senator Marco Rubio s TSP Proposal That is why I propose we give Americans who do not have access to an employer sponsored plan the option of enrolling in the federal Thrift Savings Plan. Opening Congress' retirement plan to the American people will allow us to bring the prospect of a secure, comfortable and independent retirement into reach of millions of people. - Senator Marco Rubio, National Press Club, May 13, 2014
12 States with Retirement Proposals for Private Sector Employers
13 Elements of State Proposals 1) Require private employers over a certain size to offer a retirement plan for their employees 2) Create a state-run retirement plan for private employers to fulfill the requirement
14 Elements of State-Run Plans No cost for the employer a) Employers will not be required to contribute to the plan b) Employers will not have to pay any administrative expenses Institutional pricing on investments Guaranteed return options are available Exempt from ERISA (DOL Interpretive Bulletin 99-1 lays out how this can be accomplished for payroll deduction IRAs)
15
16 Attacks on Retirement System if this Congress wants to help, work with me to fix an upside-down tax code that gives big tax breaks to help the wealthy save, but does little or nothing for middle-class Americans President Obama, 2014 State of the Union Address $3 Million Cap on Retirement Savings Double Taxation on Deferrals
17 Top Ten Tax Expenditures Exclusion for employer provided health insurance - $785.1 billion Cap gains & dividend tax preference - $632.8 billion Home mortgage interest deduction - $405.2 billion Defined contribution plans - $399 billion Earned income credit - $352 billion Health insurance exchange subsidies - $318.1 billion State and local tax deduction - $316.4 billion Child tax credit - $285.5 billion Defined benefit plans - $248.5 billion Exclusion of untaxed social security and railroad retirement benefits - $209.1 billion Source: The Joint Committee on Taxation - Note: Dollar figures are the total amount of the expenditure over a period of five years (from ).
18 Camp Tax Reform Proposal Double Taxation on DC Plan Contributions 10-Year Freeze on COLA Limit Increases Roth Only Above 50% of 401(k) Limit
19 Coming Attractions? Take a look at the state of retirement savings in the U.S., and it s clear that something is out of whack. "Retirement savings are going to be a focus in bipartisan tax reform."
20 Legislative Front
21 SAFE Act of 2013 On July 9, 2013, Senator Orrin Hatch (R-Utah), ranking member on the Senate Finance Committee, introduced the Secure Annuities for Employee Retirement ( SAFE ) Act of 2013 (S. 1270). The bill is divided into 3 Titles: Public Pension Reform Private Pension Reform Individual Retirement Investment Advice Reform 21
22 SAFE Act of 2013 The Act proposes a new Starter 401(k) in the form of a deferral-only safe harbor plan. Elective deferrals only, no other contributions. Employer must not have had any other qualified plan during the plan year of initial adoption. Mandatory auto enrollment of between 3%-15%. Maximum contribution of $8,000 (other than catchup). Normal catch-up limits for those eligible. Exempt from top-heavy requirements. No Form 5500 required. 22
23 SAFE Act of 2013 Secure Deferral Arrangement - new 401(k) automatic enrollment safe harbor alternative. Auto enrollment % would begin between 6%-10%, rise to at least 8% in the second year and go to at least 10% thereafter. NHCE matching contributions required equal to 50% on the first 2% of pay plus 30% match on deferrals between 2% and 10% of pay (for a maximum of 3.4%). Exempt from top-heavy and ADP/ACP testing. Tax credit equal to 10% of the NHCEs contributions, to a max of $10,000 per year for the first 3 years. 23
24 Regulatory Agendas
25 Definition of Fiduciary workers contemplating investing through an IRA (401k) should be able to trust their advisers and rely on the impartiality of their investment advice. - Phyllis Borzi Phyllis Borzi, Department of Labor Assistant Secretary for Employee Benefits Security
26 Definition of Fiduciary Impact on IRAs Impact on Rollovers Possible Restriction on Current Advisors/Providers Impact on 401(k) Plans Consistent with Market Trends Challenge for Small Plan Distribution Impact of SEC RFI Coordination with DOL
27 GAO Report (March 2013) 401(k) Plans: Labor and IRS Could Improve the Rollover Process for Participants The current process favors rollovers to IRAs The opportunity for service providers to sell participants their own retail investment products and services, such as IRAs, may create an incentive for service providers to steer participants toward the purchase of such products and services even when they may not serve the participants best interests
28 GAO Report (July 2014) 401(K) Plans: Improvements Can Be Made to Better Protect Participants in Managed Accounts Recommended that the Department of Labor (DoL) consider fiduciary roles for managed account providers, require disclosure of performance and benchmarking information to plan sponsors and participants, and provide guidance to help sponsors better select and oversee managed account providers.
29 FINRA Reg. Notice Reminds broker-dealers of their responsibilities concerning IRA rollovers Any recommendation to sell, purchase or hold securities must be suitable for the customer and the information that investors receive must be fair, balanced and not misleading
30 SEC 2014 Exam Priorities SEC s National Examination Program 2014 exam priorities will include rollovers to IRAs When participants take distributions from retirement plans investment advisers and broker-dealers may have incentives to recommend that the assets be placed with an IRA or other alternative offered by a financial services firm
