Personal Finance and Money Management 26 -registered Retirement Pension Plan and 401 K Plan Maturity Options
Personal Finance and Money Management 26 -registered Retirement Pension Plan and 401 K Plan Maturity Options
As we mentioned in previous articles we know that our government only represents about 30% of our retirement income. The company retirement pension plan offers another 30 % and many of us do not have one. It is up to individuals to invest wisely short and long term in order to make up for the short fall if he or she would like to live comfortably after retirement without giving up some retirement plans. Some people choose to invest into personal registered retirement saving plans in Canada or 401k plans and IRA plans in the US. In this article, we will discuss RRSP, 401k plan maturity options.
I. Take all in Cash
a) In Canada at 69 years of age, depending on the amount of your RRSP account, you may have to pay up to 50% of tax if you take all money of the RRSP plan in cash.
b) Before April 1 of the year following the year in which you reach age 70½ you can transfer your 401 k plan to your IRA plan with out paying tax, but minimum withdrawal is required.
c) You can cash out your 401k and IRA plans with 20% tax withhold of amount withdrawn.
II. Purchase an annuity for your 401k plan and RRSP
This option requires you to give up all control of your funds in return for receiving a fixed and regular annuity income from an insurance company. The income annuity is based upon the current interest rate and the amount of annuity investment you purchase.
III. Other options
a) In the US, your 401K can remain invested in your employer-sponsored plan, if your former employer allows it. It avoids current taxes and penalties, and may offer other advantages unavailable elsewhere but minimum withdrawal is required every year. The IRS allows a number of options under which you can calculate your MRD. Make sure that the plan allows you to select the method that is most advantageous to you.
b) For IRA plans, minimum withdrawal is required at maturity.
c) In Canada, you can invest your RRSP like other investment programs in registered retirement income funds. Minimum withdrawal is required every year.

Milwaukee Hearing Office Continues To Have Management and Performance Concerns
Baltimore, MD (PRWEB) December 7, 2003
An Inspector General investigation and follow-up review of Social SecurityÂs Milwaukee Hearing Office identified opportunities for management improvement and employee performance concerns. Although the investigators found no evidence of criminal activity, the review did find problems with the timeliness of processing of Social Security claims. For example, the backlog of cases increased 91 percent from Fiscal Year 2002 to Fiscal Year 2003. Left unaddressed, claimants could be waiting on average about 1.6 years before receiving a decision notice on their claim. The review also found issues related to security.
Inspector General James G. Huse, Jr. stated, ÂWhile most Social Security offices run effectively and efficiently, the fact remains that some offices have management problems which require Social Security to continue its efforts to monitor their performance and sustain its laudable service delivery record.Â
The investigation and the review, Operations at the Social Security Administration’s Milwaukee, Wisconsin, Office of Hearings and Appeals, http://www.ssa.gov/oig/ADOBEPDF/A-13-03-23091.pdf were initiated as a follow-up by the Social Security Inspector General to concerns raised in a September 25th hearing about significant problems in agency offices before the Ways and Means Social Security Subcommittee and in letters from Senator Herb Kohl, Senator Russell Feingold and Congressman Jerry Kleczka, who expressed concern about constituents not receiving the level of service they deserved from the Milwaukee Hearings Office.
An earlier review of the same office conducted in February 2003 by Social SecurityÂs own Office of Hearings and AppealÂs Chicago Regional Office identified several deficiencies in the Milwaukee Hearings OfficeÂs operations, including problems with caseload management, decision writing, administrative issues, and computer systems, as well as health, safety, and security issues. The Regional OfficeÂs report identified numerous deficiencies and actions Social Security has taken to address them. One of the ways the Social Security plans to address these problems is through the Âquick decision track recently announced by Commissioner Jo Anne Barnhart. This new process is intended to improve response time across the board.
The Office of Hearings and Appeals is responsible for conducting hearings and issuing decisions determining whether a person may receive benefits. Hearings are held before an administrative law judge, who conducts the hearing and issues a written decision. Cases involving disability under the Disability Insurance and Supplemental Security Income programs account for 90 percent of the hearings officeÂs work. The Office of Hearings and Appeals consists of 10 regional offices and approximately 140 hearing offices nationwide.
Social Security fraud impacts everyone. Suspected fraud can be reported anonymously to the SSA Hotline number at 1-800-269-0271.
