Regulation refers to the laws and rules established by government agencies to ensure the fair and secure operation of retirement savings programs like 401(k)s. These regulations, primarily under ERISA, the IRS, and the Department of Labor (DOL), set standards for plan management, fiduciary responsibility, contribution limits, disclosure requirements, and participant protections. The goal is to safeguard employee benefits, promote transparency, and hold plan sponsors accountable for managing retirement assets responsibly and in the best interests of participants.
