Book excerpt: The conversion of traditional defined benefit plans to cash balance plans is among the most controversial aspects of pension policy today. Because the controversy has focused on the treatment of older workers, however, the debate has generally ignored the long-term implications for retirement security. This article examines the potential impact of cash balance plans on workers who spend their entire careers in these plans, and focuses on the implications for mobile workers and for labor supply at older ages. The evidence suggests that cash balance plans can often provide more retirement security than traditional defined benefit plans or defined contribution plans.

Download or read book The White Coat Investor written by James M. Dahle and published by White Coat Investor LLC the. This book was released on 2014-01 with total page 160 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Written by a practicing emergency physician, The White Coat Investor is a high-yield manual that specifically deals with the financial issues facing medical students, residents, physicians, dentists, and similar high-income professionals. Doctors are highly-educated and extensively trained at making difficult diagnoses and performing life saving procedures. However, they receive little to no training in business, personal finance, investing, insurance, taxes, estate planning, and asset protection. This book fills in the gaps and will teach you to use your high income to escape from your student loans, provide for your family, build wealth, and stop getting ripped off by unscrupulous financial professionals. Straight talk and clear explanations allow the book to be easily digested by a novice to the subject matter yet the book also contains advanced concepts specific to physicians you won't find in other financial books. This book will teach you how to: Graduate from medical school with as little debt as possible Escape from student loans within two to five years of residency graduation Purchase the right types and amounts of insurance Decide when to buy a house and how much to spend on it Learn to invest in a sensible, low-cost and effective manner with or without the assistance of an advisor Avoid investments which are designed to be sold, not bought Select advisors who give great service and advice at a fair price Become a millionaire within five to ten years of residency graduation Use a "Backdoor Roth IRA" and "Stealth IRA" to boost your retirement funds and decrease your taxes Protect your hard-won assets from professional and personal lawsuits Avoid estate taxes, avoid probate, and ensure your children and your money go where you want when you die Minimize your tax burden, keeping more of your hard-earned money Decide between an employee job and an independent contractor job Choose between sole proprietorship, Limited Liability Company, S Corporation, and C Corporation Take a look at the first pages of the book by clicking on the Look Inside feature Praise For The White Coat Investor "Much of my financial planning practice is helping doctors to correct mistakes that reading this book would have avoided in the first place." - Allan S.

Download or read book Cash Balance Pension Plans and Claims of Age Discrimination written by and published by . This book was released on 2005 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The issue of whether cash balance pension plans violate federal laws that prohibit age discrimination has recently been examined by the federal courts, the Treasury Department, and Congress. The relevant age discrimination provisions are found in the Employee Retirement Income Security Act (ERISA), the Internal Revenue Code (IRC), and the Age Discrimination in Employment Act (ADEA). There are two distinct claims that are usually made: (1) that cash balance plans inherently violate the age discrimination provisions because the rate of benefit accrual is decreased on account of age and (2) that the conversion of traditional defined benefit plans to cash balance plans violates the ADEA because of the negative impact on older workers. In the past few years, several courts have looked at these issues. In a case that has received significant attention, Cooper v. IBM Pers. Pension Plan, 274 F. Supp. 2d 1010 (S.D. Ill. 2003), a district court held that IBM's cash balance plan was discriminatory. It appears the court's reasoning would hold that cash balance plans inherently violate the age discrimination provisions. Other courts have held that the plans are not discriminatory or have dismissed the claims for procedural reasons. In 1999, in response to the growing controversy about whether the plans are discriminatory, the Treasury Department issued a moratorium on approving cash balance plans as qualified pension plans. In 2002, the Treasury Department proposed regulations that addressed the requirements a cash balance plan or conversion would have to meet in order to not violate the age discrimination provisions. These regulations were withdrawn in 2004. Also in 2004, the Treasury Department released a legislative proposal concerning the age discrimination issue, which has been included in the Administration's budget proposals for fiscal years 2005 and 2006. Since 2001, several measures have been introduced in Congress to address the age discrimination issue. In 2003, Congress attached a rider to the Treasury appropriations bill for FY2004 that prevented the Treasury Department from finalizing the proposed regulations. The House approved a similar measure the next year, but it was not included in the final appropriations bill. In the 109th Congress, two measures have been introduced that address the age discrimination issue: the Pension Preservation and Portability Act of 2005 (H.R. 2831) and the Pension Fairness and Full Disclosure Act (H.R. 2233 and S. 991). These bills are markedly different in their approaches. This report describes cash balance plans, discusses the arguments that cash balance plans do and do not violate the age discrimination prohibitions, provides an overview of the court cases, and addresses the activity by the Treasury Department and Congress. It will be updated as events warrant.
