News Release

WASHINGTON – ACLI President & CEO Susan Neely made the following statement on the U.S. Labor Department’s interim final rule on lifetime income illustrations issued today:

Showing the value of retirement account balances in terms of lifetime monthly income gives plan participants a better understanding of what their potential income in retirement is likely to be, based on what they have saved.

“Plan participants make their own choice at retirement on how they want to receive they money they’ve saved. And the illustrations will provide meaningful information for long-term planning, and for when plan participants change jobs or benefit plans.

“The rule follows Congress’s passage of the SECURE Act in December 2019, strongly supported by ACLI.

“We are currently reviewing the interim final regulation and look forward to working with the department toward its issuance in final form.”
