October 417(e) Interest Rates

[Sellarsian]

As far as I can see, as of now -- Monday Nov 19, 2:45 eastern -- the IRS has still not yet released the October 2018 segment rates for minimum present value (lump sum) calculations.

In the past, it has tended to post each month's rates by the 15th of the following month, or earlier. I don't track every updates, but I can't recall their being this late before

Has the IRS changed when the rates are released? Or are they out there, but I'm just not seeing them?

Is this what you're looking for?

Thanks Lois, but that announcement included (1) the October 2018 FUNDING interest rates based on an average of rates over the 24 months through September, and (2) the unaveraged September 2018 rates, which are used for 417e lump sum calculations. I think it was issued on Oct 14 or 15.

So the next monthly version of that announcement would include the Nov 2018 funding interest rates and Oct 2018 lump sum rates. That's what I was expecting to see last week but still can't find.
