RMD Notification Requirements for Non-Owners

[Guest jjonesocreel]

The question came up recently with one of my clients, and subsequently with members of our staff, about whether or not RMD notification is required to be provided to nonowner retirement plan participants who are still employed and have reached age 70&1/2 (just notifying them that they have the distribution option). A few of us have done some research but have not turned up anything. Does anyone know if notification is required or can anyone give me some idea of what their practices are?
