Congress Eases Pension Funding, Distribution Rules in Light of Stock Market Crash

The House and Senate have passed the pension technical corrections bill, H.R. 7327, the Worker, Retiree, and Employer Recovery Act of 2008.  President Bush is expected to sign the bill.  Among other provisions, the bill suspends the 50% excise tax assessed on seniors who fail to take a required minimum distribution in 2009 from their retirement accounts, eases funding requirements for employer-sponsored pension plans, and includes temporary funding relief for multiemployer plans.
