Protect Retirement Plans By Contacting Your Member Of Congress Now!


Congress is considering a proposal that will threaten the use of cross-testing used for defined contribution plans as well as combination defined contribution and defined benefit plan design. Specifically the ability to have different allocation formulas for different groups and the interest rates used in the calculation are in BIG JEOPARDY!

This affects the vast majority of small plans and many large plans. We need your help to send a strong message to Congress to stop this misguided proposal. Given this tough economy, now is not the time for Congress to make it more difficult to provide retirement benefits to employees.

We have made it easy for you. Please go to the link below and in a matter of seconds you can get the word out to your member of Congress that they should NOT pass any proposal negatively affecting retirement plans. Please feel free to get your employees involved since their benefits may be threatened as well.

Thanks for your support!

Pat Byrnes, COPA MSPA, EA, MAAA
President

In the “take action” block of the link please select Small Business Owner or Practitioner as appropriate.
