SECURE Act 2.0: Your Year-by-Year Reference Guide

SECURE Act 2.0: Your Year-by-Year Reference Guide

| March 16, 2023

This guide lists many of the important provisions in SECURE Act 2.0 that apply to 401(k) plans. While the Act has additional provisions that could affect the design or operation of 401(k) plans, the focus of this list is to provide plan sponsors with a handy chart of the year-by-year provisions that will likely be most impactful on their plans.

A unique feature of the SECURE Act 2.0 is that many of its provisions are optional. In other words, plan sponsors can adopt these new provisions if desired (for example, if they would benefit the workforce covered by the plan), but not adopt them if not desired. Of course, the Act also includes mandatory provisions that will need to be satisfied on a timely basis in order to avoid disqualification of the plan. The chart indicates which are mandatory and which are optional.
