required in connection with
distributions from retirement plans.
Specifically, these regulations set forth
applicable standards for the
transmission of those notices and
consents through electronic media and
modify the timing requirements for
providing certain distribution-related
notices. The regulations provide
guidance to plan sponsors and
administrators by interpreting the notice
and consent requirements in the context
of the electronic administration of
retirement plans. The regulations affect
retirement plan sponsors,
administrators, and participants.
On March 13, 2020, the President of
the United States issued an emergency
declaration under the Robert T. Stafford
Disaster Relief and Emergency
Assistance Act in response to the
ongoing Coronavirus Disease 2019
(COVID–19) pandemic, beginning
March 1, 2020 (COVID–19 Emergency).
In response to this unprecedented
public health emergency, and the
related social distancing that has been
implemented, Notice 2020–42 provides
temporary relief from the physical
presence requirement in § 1.401(a)–
21(d)(6) of the Income Tax Regulations
for participant elections required to be
witnessed by a plan representative or a
notary public, such as a spousal consent
required under § 417 of the Internal
Revenue Code (the Code). While this
temporary relief, which covers the
period from January 1, 2020, through
December 31, 2020, is intended to
facilitate the use of coronavirus-related
distributions and plan loans to qualified
individuals, as permitted by section
2202 of the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and
Economic Security Act, Public Law
116–136, 134 Stat. 281 (2020) (CARES
Act), the temporary relief applies to any
participant election that requires the
signature of the individual making the
election to be witnessed in the physical
presence of a plan representative or
notary.
Current Actions: There are no changes
being made to the regulations at this
time.
Type of Review: Extension of a
currently approved collection.
