The What’s and When’s of SECURE 2.0

There are a LOT of retirement provisions in the SECURE 2.0 Act of 2022 – and we’ve got a new resource – a list of which ones will take eff­ect when.
The Government Aff­airs team here has developed a table providing descriptions and e­ffective dates for the key provisions contained in the SECURE 2.0 Act of 2022, which was enacted Dec. 29, 2022, as part of the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2023 (P.L. 117-328).
We now know, for example, that Dec. 29, 2022, will now serve as the date of enactment (DOE), which matters as several provisions become e­ffective immediately, while others become eff­ective in 2023 or later years.
Our chart is organized in the order the provisions become eff­ective, starting with those already in eff­ect or that have retroactive eff­ective dates. In addition, PYB stands for “plan years beginning,” and TYB stands for “taxable years beginning.” Note that this table is not all the law’s provisions, but it does include the most significant ones related to retirement.
