10/8/2008: Text of Proposed IRS Regs: Notice to Participant of Consequences of Failure to Elect to Defer Receipt of Retirement Plan Benefit; Expansion of Periods for Other Notices and Elections (PDF) (Internal Revenue Service)
18 pages. Excerpt: "These proposed regulations would provide that the notice required by section 411(a)(11) advising a participant of the right, if any, to defer receipt of a distribution must also inform the participant of the consequences of failing to defer such receipt. The proposed regulations would also provide guidance on the relevant information that must be provided to a participant in order to satisfy the requirement that the participant be notified of the consequences of failing to defer. . . . These regulations are proposed to become effective for notices provided (and election periods beginning) on or after the first day of the first plan year beginning on or after January 1, 2010. However, in no event will the regulations become effective for notices provided (and election periods beginning) earlier than the first day of the first plan year beginning 90 days after publication of final regulations in the Federal Register."
