Impact of the Economic Downturn on Defined Contribution Plans

Wagner Law Group P.C.

The current volatility in the economy due to the Coronavirus has created pressing issues for defined contribution plans impacting day-to-day plan operations, plan administration and fiduciary matters. These issues relate to the impact of layoffs, temporary layoffs and furloughs, in-service distributions, loans, nondiscrimination testing, employer contributions, plan investments as well as plan terminations and partial terminations.
