Co-Sponsored by WEB-NY and The New York City Bar Association

Elizabeth Thomas Dold will serve as a speaker at the “Teleconference: The Evolution of IRS Retirement Plan Programs: Determination Letters and EPCRS” on October 19, 2016 in New York City. This teleconference, sponsored jointly with the New York City Chapter of Worldwide Employee Benefits (WEB) and The New York City Bar Association, will focus on current status of the determination letter program and the Employee Plans Compliance Resolution System (“EPCRS”). The IRS has announced major changes to the determination letter program that will affect not only the operation of retirement plans but other areas where retirement plans are at issue, including mergers and acquisitions, coverage under the securities laws, and bankruptcies.

EPCRS remains a heavily used program, and the IRS has recently implemented important changes to its rules affecting how corrections are made to fix some common plan errors.
