NEBF PENSION BENEFIT INCREASED

International President J. J. Barry and International Secretary Jack F. Moore are pleased to announce that the National Electrical Benefit Fund pension benefits will increase effective January 1. 1987.

The announcement signifi es that those persons who are eligible under the NEBF Employees Benefit Agreement between the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers and the National Eleclrical Contractors Association will receive increased pension payments.

The National Employees Benetit Board of the NEBF recommended and the parties to the Agreement approved that the NEBF normal retirement benefit be increased from $13.00 per month to $14.00 per month service credit lor anyone retiring on or atter January 1, 1987. The Board also recommended that those presently on the NEBF pension rolls receive a 4 percent increase in the amount of pension benefit which they are presently receiving. Early retirement benefils will also be increased 10 $14.00 per month per service credit minus 6% percent reduction for each year the participant is under the age of 65. Disability bene fils will be computed at the rate of $14.00 per service credit with a minimum benefil of $280.00 per month.

President Barry and Secretary Moore note that these substantial improvements along with the basic pension program and its new level of benefits have prospered Irom the commitment by representatives of both NECA and the IBEW working together to bring a belter life to those who retire atter devoting many years to the electrical industry.

The IBEW Board members are International President J. J. Barry. International Secretary Jack F. Moore. all the members of the International Executive Council and the Administrative Assistant to the President. Anthony J. Salamone.

Tax Law Changes Affect Pension Plans and Other Benefits

Some provisions of lhe Tax Reform Act of 1986 are effective January I. 1987. IBEW members who have planned to make withdrawals from their qualified defined bene fit or defined contri bution ponoion plans should read the accompanying article immediately in order to take the action necessary to avoid paying the penalty tax which has been established by the new law.

The Tax Reform Act o( 1986 " now the law to our nation. It mcorporatcs 3

large number of new tax rules and pro­vides for lower tax rates 10 1987 and 1988. Future columns of "Research Notes" Will undertake overall coverage of the major provisions of this new law.

Two important changes in pension plan withdrawals and distnbutlons arc of Immediate concern, however. We call uur reauers' attcnt iull lu lhc IUlllp-sum withdrawal penalty and the taxation of lump-sum distributions.

Lump-Sum Wit hdrawal Penal ty

ElfecnveJanuary I, 1987, dlStnbutlo lls from a qualified defined benefit or de­Aned contribution pension plan palo tu a participant belore that person is 59'h years of age will be subject to a 10 pe rcent excise taxI in addition to being treated as ordinary income for income tax pur­peses. The penalty tax will rciale only to that part of the distribut ion that is taxable; It wll1 not include rclunds of aner-ta."( employee contributions. How­ever, it will include interest earned on both employer and employee contribu­tions,

As under present law, pension distri­butions properly rolled over to an Indi­vidua.1 Retiremen t Account jUtA ) or an­other qual ified pension plan wi ll not be trea ted as taxable income in that year and will not be subiect lo the peoalLy tax.

The lump·sum wi thdrawal penalty will be imposed unless the pension payment is in the form of a lite annuity or the individual is at least 55 years of 3gC and ret ires under an earl y retireme.nt provI­sion of the pension pbn. The pen3 1ty will also not be imposed if payment is made because of the participant1s dealh or disability ar if payment is made to an alternate p~yee under 3 quaJlfied domes­tic relations order.

Another important provision of this

18 I IBEW JOURNAL! DECEMBER 1986

section of the new tax I .. w is thai all distnbuti,ons from contnbutory plans, Including saving and stock-purchase plans, will be considered .scoming part ly from employee contribu tions and par tly from employer contribu tions. Tbis means thal port of all distribution from ,h r <p plans wil l be subiect to the penalty tax for contribu tions made .!ter January I, 1987.

11 you have planned to make a with­drawal from your qualified defined ben­efit or defined contribution pension plan 111 the futu re, be aware that you should do so before January I, 1987, in order to avoid the.: penalty tax.

Tax,:lI ion or Lump-Su m DisuibUlioll s

The new law reduces the pcnod for income avcragmg of 3 lump-sum WIth­drawal from 10 years to five years. The new, five-year forw:ud averaging method of payll1g taxes on lump-sum dls tnbu­tlons from pension plans is avai lable only if the paruci p:lO t is 59Vl yea rs of age or older and m3Y be uscd onl y one ti m e. The law also phases ou t the capit31-gain trcatmcnt of pre-I 974 asseb. Empluyees

who arc under the age of 59';' will have to pay income tax in addition to the penalty On lump-sum distributions from dellncd benefit and defined contribu tion pension plans in the year the distribu­tjons were received, as if they were or­dinary, tax able income e.<.lm~ci in tha i year. Employees w ho were 50 years of age or older on January I, 1986, bave the option of having one futu re lump-sum dlstributlon taxed under present tax rules or other special rules that may apply.

T3 X Ch anges on Uther Benefi ts

The new tax law affects orner em ­ployee benefi t plans, for example, the change in eligibili ty for an [RA deduc­tion. Through 1986 ind.ividual workers can deduct up to $2,000 of their taxable income for contnhutians to their [RAs. Starting on 1987, eligibility (or Wt de­ductJon Will he based on adjusted gross income and enroll ment In an employer­sponsored pension plan.

There arc no changes lor a single [ax­payer who is not enrolled in an employer­spunsurcu pl!I'I Slo n plan . T here arc nu
