New pension regulations affect plan administration

Article Abstract:

The Dept. of Labor has implemented a new regulation that reduces the time period in which employers must deposit the money withheld from their employees into pension trusts. The IRS has made a similar regulation requiring employees who have withheld more than $50,000 to make tax deposits at a Federal Reserve bank or any authorized institution. The new regulations are aimed at preventing losses that may occur when the employers keep withheld contributions for a long time period.
