Worker, Retiree, and Employer Recovery Act of 2008 (WRERA)
WRERA provided a temporary waiver of required minimum distributions (RMD’s) for 2009. Through this act, individuals with IRA’s and plan sponsors with qualified plans could suspend RMD’s in 2009. Plan sponsors that took this action are required to amend their plans. To recognize this election to suspend RMD’s, plan sponsors must formally amend their plans under WRERA by December 31, 2011. Failure to amend your plan timely could disqualify your plan.
