Brand New Employer Sponsored Plan Is A Hybrid Of A Traditional 401(K) And A Roth Ira-January 1st, 2006 Is Start Date For New Roth 401(K) Retirement Savings Plan
Los Angeles, CA (PRWEB) December 7, 2005
Income tax rates have been cut, the marriage penalty done away with, and the “death tax” is also on a path to no more. All of this is a result of the Bush administration’s Economic Growth and Tax Relief Reconciliation Act which was passed by a Republican congress in 2001. Another provision of that act goes into effect on January 1st, 2006, a hybrid of a traditional 401(k) and a traditional Roth IRA called the Roth 401(k).
Yet another employer sponsored savings plan, the new Roth 401(k) works in almost the same way as a traditional 401(k) plan. Workers invest a portion of their income into a fund along with contributions from their employer (if any). The difference is that the traditional 401(k) is funded with “pre-tax” dollars and the Roth 401(k) plan uses “after-tax” dollars. However, with the Roth 401(k), withdrawal of your money at retirement will be tax free like a Roth IRA. The traditional 401(k) plan defers the tax owed during your career until retirement.
Although it may sound like the best of both worlds, it is important to note that no employer is required to offer this new Roth 401(k) plan. In fact, a recent survey by employee benefits consulting firm Hewitt and Associates found that only 31 % of employers currently offering the traditional 401(k) plan are considering implementing the new Roth 401(k).
Employees may now want to begin inquiring whether their employer will be offering the new retirement plan in 2006. Contribution limits for the retirement plans are: in 2005, $ 14,000 for a 401(k) and $ 4,000 for an IRA, whether Roth or traditional. In 2006, this amount will increase to $ 15,000 for both 401(k) and IRAs.

Obama nation plans to steal your (401k) Retirement Money
This video and the supplied description come from NOLINKNEWS. (Bloomberg) — The Obama administration is weighing how the government can encourage workers to turn their savings into guaranteed income streams following a collapse in retiree accounts when the stock market plunged. The US Treasury and Labor Departments will ask for public comment as soon as next week on ways to promote the conversion of 401(k) savings and Individual Retirement Accounts into annuities or other steady payment streams, according to Assistant Labor Secretary Phyllis C. Borzi and Deputy Assistant Treasury Secretary Mark Iwry, who are spearheading the effort. Brzezinski explained that, “For the first time in all of human history mankind is politically awakened — that’s a total new reality — it has not been so for most of human history.” Brzezinski continued, “The whole world has become politically awakened,” adding that all over the world people were aware of what was happening politically and were “consciously aware of global inequities, inequalities, lack of respect, exploitation.” That resistance against “lack of respect” and being treated like slaves reached a crescendo in November when an organic nationwide backlash against invasive and degrading TSA airport security measures hit fever pitch. Despite a massive revolt lead by the likes of Matt Drudge and our own Alex Jones, the TSA refused to back down and change their procedures, a decision that could prove fatal to the very existence of the …

401(k) Rekon Will Host First Rekon Intelligence Symposium for Retirement Plan Advisors; Major 401(k) Providers to Present
401(k) Rekon Will Host First Rekon Intelligence Symposium for Retirement Plan Advisors; Major 401(k) Providers to Present
Wilmington, NC (Vocus) April 1, 2010
According to 401(k) Rekon™ CEO Ross Marino, CFP®, the symposium idea came from a DCIO wholesaler. “He approached me at the ASPPA 401(k) Summit,” said Marino, “and said we needed to host a value-add symposium.”
The first symposium, limited to 70 advisors, is scheduled for May 21, 2010, in Charlotte, North Carolina. Other symposiums are already planned in North Carolina, South Carolina, and Virginia. Providers can visit http://www.401kRekon.com or email info (at) 401kRekon (dot) com for more information.
This first symposium targets the experienced 401(k) advisor. Future symposiums will target financial advisors with limited 401(k) experience.
As a successful financial advisor for 21 years, Marino knows firsthand the significance of value-add resources. “I learned about 401(k) plans using resources from 401(k) providers,” he explained. “Most broker dealers cannot adequately train 401(k) advisors. Fortunately, many retirement plan providers have extensive educational resources.”
“Successful advisors have learned to leverage their relationships with 401(k) providers,” stated Marino. “Like our online 401(k) provider database, the symposiums will help advisors learn what resources are available, and how to use them in their practices.”
“401(k) Rekon™ believes managing 401(k) plans is a team sport,” said Marino. “By working together, financial advisors and providers can help 401(k) plan sponsors and plan participants make better decisions.” A team approach is also beneficial for 401(k) marketing and 401(k) prospecting.
401(k) Rekon™ is an industry-leading provider of 401(k) research for financial advisors, empowering them to build more successful retirement plan practices. At the core of the new site is a unique 401(k) provider database containing directions and links to locate resources and product information. Presented in concise summaries, the provider database contains the name of each resource, the intended audience (financial advisor, 401(k) plan sponsor, 401(k) plan participant), and format (flyer, PowerPoint, etc.).
