Tom, I'd just like to add a belated but heartfelt and public thanks from the folks at BenefitsLink (Dave, Holly and myself) for all you've contributed over the years. Your wit, wisdom and consistent participation have been invaluable -- you will be missed. Lois

Thanks, Suzanne -- "It's what we do". Actually, I've been quite surprised to learn how much history has been archived online by the agencies -- pretty much everything is out there somewhere if you can figure out where to look.

Rev. Rul. 80-155 was published in 1980-1 C.B. 84 -- which is indeed online. See page 102 of this large PDF (760 pages).

Links to the EBSA updates were included in the BenefitsLink Retirement Plans newsletter and the BenefitsLink Health & Welfare Plans newsletter last Wednesday (June 5). Here's what CBIZ noted about changes:

You have my condolences, Bob. Or maybe I should say, empathy. (I'm the Cleveland native; Dave is just masquerading as one. )

"Beginning April 19, 2019 ... SCP is available to correct certain plan loan failures.... Reporting of deemed distributions ... Plan loan statutory failures....

If you can import to Thunderbird, it does appear there's a way to save all emails as PDFs -- with attachments.: https://www.coolutils.com/Thunderbird-PDF-Attachments No endorsement here, but I did run a trial and it appears to work. Hope that helps.

Proposed regs released for Hardship Withdrawal changes made by TCJA and BBA2018. Also includes relaxed rules for those affected by Hurricanes Florence and Michael. https://benefitslink.com/newsletters/2018/2018_11_09_retirement_bulletin.html

IRS Proposed Regs just released to extend relaxed Hardship Withdrawal rules for those affected by Hurricanes Florence and Michael: https://benefitslink.com/newsletters/2018/2018_11_09_retirement_bulletin.html

If I recall correctly, the expanded relief after prior hurricanes required legislative action, not simply EBSA/IRS guidance. (Maybe somebody can confirm that?) And federal legislation has been ... slow ... lately. Best source for the latest information is probably the IRS "Hurricane Florence" page: https://www.irs.gov/newsroom/help-for-victims-of-hurricane-florence If any sort of relief is forthcoming, it will almost certainly be posted there.

They're here! https://benefitslink.com/newsletters/2018/2018_11_01_retirement_bulletin.html

Isn't everything? Life has come to a total halt for the next week, right?

This request for relief just released by ARA: https://www.napa-net.org/wp-content/uploads/18.10.04Hurricane-Florence-relief-request.pdf

IRS Disaster Relief Notice NC-2018-03 https://www.irs.gov/newsroom/tax-relief-for-victims-of-hurricane-florence-in-north-carolina "The IRS automatically identifies taxpayers located in the covered disaster area and applies automatic filing and payment relief. But affected taxpayers who reside or have a business located outside the covered disaster area must call the IRS disaster hotline at 866-562-5227 to request this tax relief. ... Taxpayers not in the covered disaster area, but whose records necessary to meet a deadline listed in Treas. Reg. § 301.7508A-1(c) are in the covered disaster area, are also entitled to relief."

Pretty sure I've found and fixed the problem. Please take a look and let me know. (and thanks for your patience!)

OK - I'm not seeing the newsletter signup box. But that gives me an idea of where to look. Thanks.

Well, I'm mystified -- I can't duplicate that at all. You tried ctrl-F5, and it's still happening? The software upgrade apparently did alter some of our customization; thought we'd found all of it, but apparently not. Happening only in Firefox? (i.e., did you try another browser?) I'll poke around a bit more under the hood; has to be an answer somewhere.

I'm using Firefox on a PC, and can't duplicate that behavior -- the message content is the full width of the top menu. If I drag the right-hand edge of the browser to make the window narrower, the menu (top and left side) disappears when the window is less than 1000 px wide -- but at all times the messages are the full width of the window (i.e., wide enough to be comfortable). Could you please try ctrl-F5 to refresh, and see if the problem is still there? (sometimes Firefox is slow to see changes) If that doesn't fix it, could you please see if anything changes if you make the Firefox window wider or narrower? (click on the right-hand edge, and drag it in and out) We'll get it fixed!
