As a platform-agnostic firm, Enterprise Iron’s experts on the Retirement Plan Compliance Services (RPCS) Team are well-positioned to assist recordkeepers with a roadmap to develop and deploy these changes. Many tasks must be completed before 2024 as part of the SECURE 2.0 Act and we can set your firm on the right path ahead of this regulatory deadline and beyond. 

The SECURE 2.0 Act of 2022 is part of the “Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2023” that was passed by Congress on December 23, 2022, and signed into law by the President on Dec. 29, 2022. The SECURE 2.0 Act is designed to increase access to retirement plans and retirement savings, provide incentives for employers to sponsor a retirement plan, streamline administration, and reporting requirements along with preserving income.
