CARES Act Overview

On March 27, 2020, the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security (CARES) Act was enacted into law by the President. Although this bill is meant to be a broad stimulus to help with the effects of our current health crisis and economic downturn, it does include several valuable retirement plan specific provisions:

  • Makes available a new coronavirus-related distribution option to provide increased access to retirement funds as well as provide relief for certain tax ramifications related to these distributions

  • Increases amounts available for plan loans

  • Provides loan repayment relief with a temporary suspension of payments

  • Waives 2020 required minimum distributions for plans other than defined benefit plans

  • Provides funding relief for single employer defined benefit plans
