Secure Act Important Update for IRA Owners

Setting Every Community Up for Retirement Enhancement Act 2022 (SECURE Act 2.0)

The SECURE Act 2.0, signed into law on December 29, 2022, included a package of changes to the laws governing retirement plans and Individual Retirement Accounts (IRAs). This document highlights changes that affect Required Minimum Distributions (RMDs).

Please note that the IRA Disclosure Statement and endorsements included with your annuity contract do not yet reflect the changes in the law. We will notify you regarding the updated documents after they are amended to reflect the new rules

Important RMDs changes for IRA owners

SECURE Act 2.0 increases the age certain individuals are required to start taking RMDs from age 72 to age 73:
- If you turn 72 after December 31, 2022, the deadline for taking your first RMD from your traditional IRA is now April 1 of the year after the year you turn 73.
- If you turned 72 prior to January 1, 2022, this rule change does not apply to you, and you must continue taking RMDs.
The RMDs age increases to 75 in 2033 for an individual who turns age 74 after December 31, 2032.
Effective immediately, the penalty for not taking your RMD is reduced from 50% of the RMD amount to 25%, and as low as 10% if the mistake is corrected in a timely manner.

Please speak with your tax and/or legal professional regarding questions you have regarding these rules and your particular situation.
