The end of 2012 is coming up fast and sponsors of single-employer retirement plans must make sure they are in compliance with all new statutory and regulatory requirements.
Milliman issued a client brief looking at what needs to be done by the end of the year, including reviewing plan documents and amendments, like the benefit restriction provisions included in the 2006 Pension Protection Act.
