Join us for a complimentary webinar regarding the IRS’s comprehensive update to Employee Plans Compliance Resolution System (EPCRS), which is the IRS’s remedial program for tax-qualified plans, 403(b) plans, SEP plans, and SIMPLE IRA plans. The updated EPCRS is set forth in Rev. Proc. 2026-34, which replaces Rev. Proc. 2021-30 and makes permanent the interim remedial guidance issued following the enactment of SECURE 2.0.  

Joelle Tavan, Adrine Cargill and Kevin Nolt will walk through the key changes to EPCRS and provide practical guidance to help plan sponsors navigate the updated rules and address plan compliance errors.

The webinar will focus on the following key topics:

  • Expanded Self-Correction for “Eligible Inadvertent Failures”: understanding the expanded self-correction rules, the new “reasonable period” correction deadline, and additional self-correction options for plan loan failures, plan document failures, and employer eligibility failures;
  • Inadvertent Benefit Overpayments: identifying when repayment is not required and how the new rules address recoupment and rollover treatment;
  • Automatic Enrollment & Escalation Errors: navigating the now-permanent safe harbor for correcting these errors;
  • Retroactive Plan Amendments: reviewing the new limitations on using retroactive amendments to correct operational errors; and
  • Practical Considerations: outlining next steps for plan sponsors with corrections already underway.
