The Secure Act, recently passed Congress in Mid-December, aims to increase the number of retirement savers and the amount they put away each year.
The act is designed to make it easier for small businesses to band together to offer 401(k) plans and offering tax credits to those firms that do; requiring businesses to let long-term, part-time workers become eligible for retirement benefits; and repealing the maximum age for making contributions to traditional individual retirement accounts (right now, that's 70½).
The Act would allow workers with 401(k) plans to withdraw up to $5,000 from their account, penalty-free, to cover the cost of having a baby or adoption.
