Hinweis der Redaktion
Amends a prohibited transaction rule under ERISA and the Internal Revenue Code. That rule says that it is a prohibited transaction for a plan to enter into an arrangement with a service provider unless the “arrangement” is reasonable and the compensation being received by the service provider is reasonable. The regulation adds disclosure requirements for the service provider so that plan fiduciaries can determine whether a service provider arrangement is reasonable. What plans are covered? Defined Contribution (i.e. 401(k), ERISA 403(b)) and Defined Benefit Pension plans. Excluded from this definition: IRAs Simplified employee pensions, and Simple retirement accounts.
Because rates are averaged over two years, it will take a couple of years for costs to decline Plans will likely see high requirements drop quickly to zero within a few years of rates increasing
