NRLN President’s Forum House Passes Senate’s Relief Bill with RMD Waiver The House of Representatives on Friday passed the $2 trillion Coronavirus emergency relief bill that was passed by the Senate Wednesday night. President Donald Trump immediately signed the legislation into law.
A provision in the bill provides for the 2020 waiver on Required Minimum Distributions (RMDs) for IRAs and 401(k)s. I want to thank NRLN members who responded to Thursday’s Action Alert and emailed letters to their U.S. Representative requesting the House retain the RMD waiver that was included in the Senate bill.
The House approved the Senate’s stimulus package by voice vote. The legislation will provide payments of up to $1,200 to millions of Americans, bolster unemployment benefits, offer loans, grants and tax breaks to businesses, large and small, and send billions more to states, local governments and the nation’s healthcare system.
