Today’s MH Market Spotlight Report –
What Does the President’s New EO Mean for Small Businesses?
President Trump signed an executive order on Friday that will affect how you save for retirement, said Fox Business. The president’s take, from North Carolina today, is outlined in the video below.
A White House spokesperson said the measure – which directs the Treasury and Labor Department to consider issuing regulations or guidelines – will look at updating the rules on required minimum distributions for retirement plans, in an effort to allow retirees to stash away more money in their accounts for a longer period of time.
Under current law, retirees are required to begin withdrawing funds from retirement accounts when they turn 70.5.
POTUS Trump is also asking the administration to look into ways to make work-based retirement programs more affordable for small businesses, in order to increase the number of those businesses that offer options.
One potential measure, for example, would be to allow small businesses to band together to offer joint plans. This would be somewhat similar to what is done under the administration’s plan for health care plans.
According to the Trump administration, only 53 percent of businesses with fewer than 100 employees offer workplace retirement plans, compared with nearly 90 percent of businesses with more than 100 workers that do so.
In addition to reducing costs for more small businesses to offer plans, the order directs federal agencies to look at ways to reduce bureaucratic barriers.
