Sept. 23, 2008
Excerpt: It takes a lot to scare workers into making sudden changes to their 401(k) plans, yet droves of participants moved their retirement assets around last week as the volatile equity markets became too much for many to stomach. Participants in 401(k) plans fled from equity funds and moved investments into safer fixed-income investments last week as manic market conditions and an uncertain economy rattled many workers, said Pam Hess, director of retirement research at Hewitt Associates.

Excerpt: Mr. Neal cited the issue's tax angle. Given the favorable tax treatment accorded to 401(k) plans, 'we're examining the whole responsibility that the Ways and Means Committee has here,' he told Financial Week late last week. 'We're looking at the tax side of this issue.'

People notified earlier may have already missed their opportunity.... Those laid off or furloughed after April 1 have 60 days to sign up for regular COBRA coverage and the temporary financial assistance."

That's what the debate over measures such as [the Retail Investor Protection Act (H.R. 2374)] is really about."
