In 2019, Congress passed the SECURE Act, which introduced several changes and enhancements to retirement plan rules. The sequel to the original SECURE Act, the SECURE Act 2.0, was passed on December 29, 2022 and builds on those changes with several more enhancements designed to increase retirement savings opportunities for many Americans.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

In our view, the SECURE Act 1.0 and 2.0 updates were long overdue. The new rules recognize that Americans are living and working longer, so stipulations for saving and spending should reflect that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While the SECURE 2.0 Act includes over 150 changes, the following are those we feel will most impact our clients. Of course, should your life circumstances change, we ask you to let us know in case any of the other changes not listed here might affect your financial plan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Note: Implementation for each SECURE 2.0 provision varies from being effective immediately, to rolling out in future years. A few even apply retroactively. Many of its newest programs won\u2019t effectively roll out until 2024 or later, giving us time to plan.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

  1. RMD Age Pushed Back (Again)<\/strong><\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    Three years ago, SECURE Act 1.0 increased the age for taking the required minimum distribution, or RMD, to 72 years from 70\u00bd. If you turn 72 this year, the age required for taking your RMD rises to 73 with SECURE Act 2.0.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    If you turned 72 in 2022, you\u2019ll remain on the prior schedule.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    If you turn 72 in 2023, you may delay your RMD until 2024, when you turn 73. Or you may push back your first RMD to April 1, 2025. Just be aware that you will be required to take two RMDs in 2025, one no later than April 1, and the second no later than December 31.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Starting in 2033, the age for the RMD will rise to 75.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
