Team Hallandale Beach,The $2 trillion stimulus bill, known as the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act, was signed into law on March 27, 2020, and addresses a range of economic and health-related issues resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic. This email will summarize the CARES Act changes related to your ICMA-RC 457(b) and 401(a) accounts. Based on the CARES Act, the 457(b) and the 401(a) plans will permit a qualified employee to withdraw up to $100,000 across both plans. Employees have access to the following new provisions: Coronavirus-Related DistributionThe bill creates a new in-service distribution type from a plan or IRA called a “coronavirus-related distribution” (CRD). The provisions are similar (but not identical) to relief provided in prior years for natural disasters. To be eligible for CRD treatment, the distribution must be made to an individual who is diagnosed with the disease, has a spouse or dependent who is diagnosed, or has experienced adverse financial consequences as a result of the disease. Employees may self-certify eligibility. Delayed Federal Income Tax and Penalty Waiver. Unless the individual elects otherwise, a CRD is included in gross income in equal amounts over three years. In addition, if the individual would owe the 10% early withdrawal penalty, that penalty is waived for CRDs. In-service Distribution. Eligible Distributions. The distribution must be made on or after Jan. 1, 2020, and before Dec. 31, 2020. The maximum amount for an individual is $100,000 from all plans and IRAs. Withholding. The mandatory 20% withholding, and requirement to provide a 402(f) notice, which normally apply to eligible rollover distributions, is waived for a CRD. Repayment. To enable participants to restore their retirement savings, the law allows the distribution to be repaid during the three-year period beginning on the day after the date the distribution is made, back into a plan or IRA. In that case, the repayment is treated similar to a rollover. Note: There are additional age requirements (70½) that must be met in order for an employee to qualify for in service CRD from their 401(a) Money Purchase Plan. Loan ReliefIncrease in Maximum Loan. The maximum loan amount is increased from $50,000 or 50% of the vested account balance up to $100,000 or 100% of the vested account balance. This applies to plan loans taken out during the 180-day period beginning March 27, 2020. Eligibility. To be eligible for the loan relief described in this section, a participant must meet the same eligibility criteria noted above for CRDs. Delay in Repayment. For any repayment on a loan due between March 27, 2020, and Dec. 31, 2020, the due date for such payment is delayed for one year. Questions? Employees may reach out to Natascha Barone, the City’s ICMA-RC representative with any questions. She can be reached by clicking this link - NATASCHA BARONE ONLINE SCHEDULING or via email – nbarone@icmarc.org We will proactively provide updates and clarifications as quickly as they become available. For those employees wanting to request a CRD from their ICMA account, please complete the attached withdrawal form and return to Human Resources. If you would like to request a loan from your ICMA plans, please contact Natascha Barone directly.
