OVERVIEW
Most government entities offer retirement plans to their employees. But what happens to those employee retirement accounts when employees leave? While many choose to rollover their account on their own, there are a large number of missing and non-responsive participants whose accounts remain in the retirement plan, possibly increasing plan sponsor administration costs and liabilities each year.

Automatic rollovers can be a valuable tool to help plan sponsors and other plan fiduciaries of governmental plans to manage plan liabilities and costs, while meeting their fiduciary duties in accordance with the Department of Labor’s Safe Harbor Regulations for rolling over plan distributions to IRAs.
