- Update on IRS Rules & Regulations. On December 11, 2008, the IRS released Notice 2009-3 that provides relief during 2009 for sponsors of 403(b) plans regarding the requirement to have a written plan document in place by January 1, 2009. Click here for a comprehensive summary of the IRS "relief" plans.
- Relief Given To a 403(b) Written Plan Document Written Plan Relief: 403(b) Plan Sponsors Get Relief From Immediate Compliance By: Robert C. Sproule, Esq.Senior Counsel, MetLife
- 403(b)wise . The Leading Source of 403(b) Information on the Web 403(b)wise was launched in March 2000 by Dan Otter and John Moore, two educators fed up with the lack of objective 403(b) information available to participants.
- 403b Practical Implications Much of the initial attention following the release of the final 403(b) regulations in late July 2007 has been focused on the implications they will have on the public sector and, more specifically, their impact on public school districts and public universities. The new regulations will also profoundly impact the way 403(b) plans are run by 501(c)(3) organizations.
- 403b Plan Sponsors Guide When the IRS issued proposed regulations for 403(b) plans in November 2004, many of the proposed provisions, which were intended to replace over 40 years of piecemeal and often outdated guidance, were quite controversial among plan sponsors and providers of annuity contracts and 403(b) mutual fund custody accounts. But since such regulatory proposals tend to change before being finalized, most plan sponsors decided to wait for the final regulations to be published before making major changes to their plans.
- Principal.com Diagnostic Tool The Principal® has developed this interactive 403(b) diagnostic tool to help employers consider steps they may need to take to comply with the final 403(b) regulations.
- IRA Retirement Plan Alternatives for Employers The information should be considered a general overview of the IRA alternatives available to employers, and should not be considered a complete representation of all of the retirement plan alternatives, employer responsibilities or participant provisions available. Employers looking to establish a retirement plan should consult their legal and financial counsel to obtain a complete listing of the alternatives and the responsibilities involved with establishing and maintaining an employee retirement plan.
- SocialK Social(k) has partnered with ExpertPlan to provide a groundbreaking paperless retirement platform for 401(k) and profit sharing plans. Our goal is to offer a broad selection of SRI mutual funds for companies to choose from.

What Members Are Saying: "I wanted to let you know that our organization has signed up with the Hartford plan available through AXA as a member of NYCON. This was exactly what our organization was looking for – a plan that our staff could use, but would not be an expense to the organization. Not having to be concerned with Form 5500 and other obligations is what other small organizations are looking for." - Diana Bennett, Executive Director, Scotia-Glenville Children´s Museum
