Guide, Pension Code And Regulations From CCH
(RIVERWOODS, ILL., March 7, 2000) CCH
INCORPORATED (CCH), a leading provider of human resources, pension and tax law
information, has announced the publication of the CCH 2000 U.S. Master
Pension Guide, a convenient handbook explaining the subjects that those who establish
and administer defined benefit and defined contribution plans deal with daily. And, to
help pension and benefits professionals stay current with the letter of the law, CCH also
publishes the current text of the IRS and Erisa code and regulations in the Pension and
Employee Benefits - Code - ERISA - Regulations either with or without the
preambles to final and temporary regulations. (To order, call 1-800-248-3238 or visit http://hr.cch.com for more information.)
The popular CCH U.S. Master Pension Guide covers a comprehensive range of
pension issues with clear, step-by-step explanations that lay out the basic principles and
rules governing each subject. The new 2000 edition of this standard desktop reference includes
information on the IRS Restructuring Act of 1998 affecting IRAs.
Pension and pension planning issues covered in the Guide include: plan
qualification, limits on benefits and contributions, vesting and accrual,
nondiscrimination rules, funding and actuarial requirements, required distributions,
taxation of distributions, loans, withholding reporting requirements, prohibited
transactions and ERISA rights, claims and enforcement.
Examples and pointers are used throughout to illustrate how the rules are applied.
Accountants, attorneys, actuaries, human resources personnel and pension specialists in
banks, consulting firms and insurance companies will find the Guide to be a ready
and reliable resource for answering hundreds of day-to-day questions.
The Guide also contains a complete calendar of filing due dates for the
extensive range of reports required for qualified plans and a removable Quick Facts card
that provides instant access to key numbers relating to Social Security, cost-of-living
adjustments, excise taxes and penalties.
As an aid to in-depth research, the discussions in the 2000 U.S. Master Pension
Guide are annotated with citations to the Internal Revenue Code, ERISA, rulings and
regulations, case law and the CCH Pension Plan Guide.
Code, Regulations Provide Letter of the Law
For pension and welfare benefits practitioners who need up-to-date copies of the letter
of the law in their field, CCH is also offering compilations of the IRS and ERISA code and
regulations that govern pension and welfare benefit plans.
Pension and Employee Benefits - Code - ERISA - Regulations - Preambles is a
three-volume set that provides pension and employee benefits practitioners with an
authoritative and comprehensive reference to pension provisions and selected welfare
benefit provisions of the Internal Revenue Code and ERISA and the associated regulatory
authority, including the HIPAA provisions under the Code and ERISA, along with related
regulations.
Extensive finding lists lead readers to the provisions of the Code, regulations and the
many acts that govern pensions and benefits. A comprehensive topical index to the code and
regulations is found in the second volume.
The third volume of the set contains the official IRS and Department of Labor preambles
for final and temporary IRS and ERISA regulations. The preambles provide important
explanatory material that aids in understanding the final regulations.
This title is based on materials from the loose-leaf CCH Pension Plan Guide and
reflects all regulatory and statutory changes to January 1, 2000. The new edition reflects
all pertinent regulations issued during the last year, including coverage of the numerous
technical corrections to the 1996 Small Business Job Protection Act affecting SIMPLE
plans.
Also available is Pension and Employee Benefits - Code - ERISA Regulations,
a two-volume reference without the preambles.
