The laws governing retirement plans change frequently. Some new laws require changes in a plan's terms and operations; others may offer plan sponsors a new option or increase benefits allowable under a plan. Plans must be operated according to each new required provision as of that provision's statutory effective date (established by Congress), and any necessary changes to the plan's language must be made by a separate date set by the IRS. If a plan sponsor decides to take advantage of a new optional rule, the sponsor must adopt an appropriate amendment to the plan language before the end of the year in which the new rule is put in place. At least once a year you should confirm that your plan language and operations are up-to-date.
