AUTO-ROLLOVER IRA
An eIRA Automatic Rollover provides important benefits to retirement plan sponsors and their service providers by establishing a compliant program that lowers costs and fiduciary risk.
How do automatic rollovers work?
Retirement plan rules allow for an employer to initiate an automatic IRA rollover (sometimes referred to as an “involuntary” or “force-out” IRA) for terminated employees who have not affirmatively elected to receive their benefits if their account balance is less than $7,000.
The employer must provide terminated employees at least 30 days advance notice of their right to:
Request a cash distribution
Roll over to an IRA
Roll over to a new employer’s plan
If they do not respond or make a selection, the employer may initiate an automatic rollover.
