We encourage plan sponsors to engage in meaningful dialogue with their advisor during their next committee meeting. Consider the following questions:
- When was the last time your committee reviewed your adoption agreement and/or basic plan document?
- Have the demographics, savings behaviors, or financial needs changed since your last review?
- Is your plan fully compliant with all applicable SECURE 2.0 requirements?
