As we noted in our prior blog post, the DOL has announced new guidance, in the form of an interim final rule, implementing the lifetime income disclosure requirement for defined contribution plans that was added to ERISA by the 2019 SECURE Act.  This guidance has since been published in the Federal Register on September 18, 2020, and will be effective one year after the date of publication, on September 18, 2021.  The DOL has requested comments on this rule, which must be received by November 17, 2020.
