## [A Happy Ending for Consenting 401(k) Participants](https://blog.rch1.com/blog/a-happy-ending-for-consenting-401k-participants)

![Happy Ending](https://blog.rch1.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Happy%20Ending.png?width=200&name=Happy%20Ending.png)For consenting 401(k) participants, it seems that “happy endings” are possible.

New, compelling data from an ongoing program of portability for small-balance 401(k) job-changers illustrates the effectiveness and appeal of seamless portability, revealing broader implications for [auto portability](https://rch1.com/auto-portability) and for all job-changing 401(k) participants, regardless of balance.

![More Gone than Forgotten](https://blog.rch1.com/hs-fs/hubfs/More%20Gone%20than%20Forgotten.jpg?width=200&name=More%20Gone%20than%20Forgotten.jpg)[Draft SECURE 2.0 legislation](https://401kspecialistmag.com/the-strong-case-for-a-retirement-savings-lost-and-found/) that provides for a PBGC-based Retirement Savings Office of the Lost and Found, along with the May release of a [drama-laden white paper](https://401kspecialistmag.com/more-than-a-trillion-dollars-stuck-in-forgotten-401ks/), could leave casual observers with the mistaken impression there is a massive problem with “forgotten” 401(k) accounts.

![Highest Purpose](https://blog.rch1.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Highest%20Purpose.png?width=200&name=Highest%20Purpose.png)Past proposals for an Office of the Retirement Savings Lost and Found (“Lost & Found”) offered good examples of how the federal government could serve an important, ancillary role alongside the private sector in our nation’s 401(k) system.

## [Three New Year's Resolutions for Plan Sponsors to Consider](https://blog.rch1.com/blog/three-new-years-resolutions-for-plan-sponsors-to-consider)

![2021\_Resolutions](https://blog.rch1.com/hs-fs/hubfs/2021_Resolutions.png?width=200&name=2021_Resolutions.png)In January, Alight Solutions released [2020 Hot Topics in Retirement & Financial Wellbeing](https://alight.com/research-insights/hot-topics-retirement-jan-2020), a survey of 130 plan sponsors employing 5.5 million workers and highlighting key trends among plan sponsors, including expanding financial wellbeing programs, increasing efforts to help participants bridge the gap between working and retiring, and strengthening programs to locate missing participants.

## [‘Sudden Money’ and Preserving 401(k) Savings Don’t Mix](https://blog.rch1.com/blog/sudden-money-and-preserving-401k-savings-dont-mix)

![sudden money](https://blog.rch1.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Set_Up_Images/Other_Generic_Images/sudden%20money.png?width=200&name=sudden%20money.png)Researchers realize that long-term retirement planning is not a natural act for most 401(k) plan participants. Consequently, important 401(k) plan features have evolved (ex. – auto enrollment, auto escalation, QDIA funds, etc.) to overcome the mis-match and to promote saving for retirement. Many of these features work spectacularly well – but only for as long as participants are actively participating in that plan.

![Tragicomedy](https://blog.rch1.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Set_Up_Images/Other_Generic_Images/Tragicomedy.png?width=200&name=Tragicomedy.png)I often write about the phenomenon of cashout leakage, which occurs when participants change jobs and prematurely withdraw their retirement savings, prior to normal retirement age.

## [Let’s Extend the Spirit of the CARES Act to Automatic Rollover IRAs](https://blog.rch1.com/blog/lets-extend-the-spirit-of-the-cares-act-to-automatic-rollover-iras)

![CARESactButton2-01](https://blog.rch1.com/hs-fs/hubfs/CARESactButton2-01.png?width=200&name=CARESactButton2-01.png)America is a fundamentally caring country, as reflected in the collective actions of its individuals, businesses and policymakers. In the midst of the COVID-19 crisis, no policy reflects this caring spirit more than the aptly-named CARES Act, which, among other things, temporarily allows retirement savers hard-hit by the COVID-19 crisis to tap their qualified retirement savings while avoiding the punitive, 10% early-withdrawal penalty.
