The legislation also requires 401(k) plans with over 100 participants plans must permit participants to elect to receive at least 50 percent of their vested account balance in the form of lifetime income. This requirement does not apply to participants with balances below $200,000. 28.H.R.6729, S.1831 Auto Reenroll Act of 2025: This legislation amends the qualified automatic contribution arrangement (QACA) safe harbor in the tax code for 401(k) plans to allow for automatic periodic reenrollment into the plan. 29.H.R.7185 Home Savings Act: This legislation permits penalty-free withdrawals from a 401(k) account for up to five years when the funds are used for a down payment or closing costs on a primary residence.

Catch-up contributions currently allow individuals over age 50 to contribute above the standard annual retirement plan contribution limit, with even higher limits available for those ages 60 to 63. 33.H.R.8274, S.4292 Improving Retirement for Family Caregivers Act of 2026: Current law limits Roth IRA contributions to the lesser of $7,000 or total annual income. This legislation eliminates the annual income requirement for family caregivers, thus allowing them to contribute to a Roth IRA even if they do not have any income. 34.H.R.8313 Trump Accounts for All Generations Act: The One Big Beautiful Bill Act (OBBBA) enacted last year created the Trump Account, which is a new individual tax-preferred savings vehicle for children, with a $1,000 government seed contribution for every child born in the United States from 2025 to 2029. This legislation makes the $1,000 government contribution for children permanent and indexes the $1,000 contribution amount to inflation beginning in 2029. 35.H.R.8314 OPTIONS Act: The legislation allows employees to allocate employer contributions among various pre-tax benefits, including retirement accounts, health savings accounts, health reimbursement accounts, and educational assistance programs. 36.S.4360 Investigation Status and Governance for Honest Transparency (INSIGHT) Act: This legislation requires the Employee Benefits Security Administration (EBSA) to submit annual reports to Congress on the status of its open employee plan audits and to explain why any audits open for more than 36 months have not been closed. And it also requires the Department of Labor to formalize and disclose situations in which it is providing adverse assistance which means assistance to plaintiffs lawyers suing ERISA benefit plan sponsors and fiduciaries. 37.H.R.8783, S.4511 Charity Parity Act: Current law allows retirement savers to exclude up to $111,000 in annual gross income to make qualified charitable distributions (QCDs), but only if the funds are donated directly from an IRA. This tax break excludes distributions from employer-sponsored retirement plans like 401(k)s and 403(b)s. So, under current law, individuals must first roll assets into an IRA to make a QCD. The Charity Parity Act would permit direct QCDs from employer-sponsored retirement plans. 38.H.R.8837, S.1840 Retirement Investment in Small Employers (RISE) Act: This legislation raises the floor for the existing $250 per-employee tax credit available to small businesses to create retirement plans, ensuring that all small businesses can receive a tax credit of at least $2,500. The House version of the legislation allows the service provider to claim the tax credit as payment for services that would ordinarily be charged to the employer for starting the plan. 39.General Accounts Product Corrections Act: This proposed legislation clarifies fiduciary responsibilities for life insurance companies as it relates to investments in their general accounts. Income Security S. 2415 and H.R. 7107, the Long-Term Care Affordability Act: Would allow for tax free distributions from retirement accounts to fund LTC contracts. H.R. 133, Both provisions are in the larger bill. H.R.1185 - FAMILY Act. Issue: paid family and medical leave proposal would offer paid leave benefits via a payroll tax for birth or adoption of a child or caring for a sick family member. H.R.1940 - New Parents Act of 2019.

Proposed FY 2020 Budget proposal on paid family and medical leave. Issue: paid family and medical leave H.R. 2694 - Pregnant Workers Fairness Act. Issue: paid family and medical leave. Concurrent Resolution on the Budget, FY2022, S.Con.Res.14. The budget resolution calls for the $3.5 trillion in long-term investments to be fully offset by a combination of new tax revenues, health care savings, and long-term economic growth. In addition, the agreement would prohibit new taxes on families making less than $400,000 per year, and on small businesses and family farms. Issue: Medicare/Dental (Expanding Medicare to include dental, vision, hearing benefits and lowering the eligibility age). H.R. 5376- Build Back Better Act This bill provides funding, establishes programs, and otherwise modifies provisions relating to a broad array of areas, including education, labor, child-care, health care, taxes, immigration, and the environment.
