Season 4, Episode 11: Stop—and Go? The Fiduciary Rule & Forfeiture Suits
The so-called fiduciary rule has been stayed—and legal
challenges regarding forfeiture reallocation are picking up. Nevin & Fred discuss what you should be doing…now.
About a month ago two separate federal judges put a hold on the effective date (09/23) of the Labor Department’s new fiduciary rule—indefinitely. n ordering the stay, United States District Judge Jeremy D. Kernodle explained that “the 2024 Fiduciary Rule suffers from many of the same problems” that were found in the version vacated by the Fifth Circuit back in 2018.
On the other (unrelated) hand, the number of suits alleging a fiduciary breach in the use of forfeitures to offset employer contributions is increasing—and most recently those charges have been appended to the more
“traditional” excessive fee suits. That, and a couple of the original group have now gotten past the motion to
dismiss.
In light of those trends, what should plan fiduciaries
do? In this podcast episode, Nevin & Fred will discuss the trends, the issues, the implications, and some next
steps.
