        December 28, 2019, or ending after the date which is 30 days 
        after the date of the enactment of this Act).

SEC. 3. SPECIAL DISASTER-RELATED RULES FOR USE OF RETIREMENT FUNDS.

    (a) Tax-Favored Withdrawals From Retirement Plans.--
            (1) In general.--Section 72(t) of the Internal Revenue Code 
        of 1986 shall not apply to any qualified disaster distribution.
            (2) Aggregate dollar limitation.--
                    (A) In general.--For purposes of this subsection, 
                the aggregate amount of distributions received by an 
                individual which may be treated as qualified disaster 
                distributions for any taxable year shall not exceed the 
                excess (if any) of--
                            (i) $100,000, over
                            (ii) the aggregate amounts treated as 
                        qualified disaster distributions received by 
                        such individual for all prior taxable years.
                    (B) Treatment of plan distributions.--If a 
                distribution to an individual would (without regard to 
                subparagraph (A)) be a qualified disaster distribution, 
                a plan shall not be treated as violating any 
                requirement of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 merely 
                because the plan treats such distribution as a 
                qualified disaster distribution, unless the aggregate 
                amount of such distributions from all plans maintained 
                by the employer (and any member of any controlled group 
                which includes the employer) to such individual exceeds 
                $100,000.
                    (C) Controlled group.--For purposes of subparagraph 
                (B), the term ``controlled group'' means any group 
                treated as a single employer under subsection (b), (c), 
                (m), or (o) of section 414 of the Internal Revenue Code 
                of 1986.
                    (D) Special rule for individuals affected by more 
                than one disaster.--The limitation of subparagraph (A) 
                shall be applied separately with respect to 
                distributions made with respect to each qualified 
                disaster.
            (3) Amount distributed may be repaid.--
                    (A) In general.--Any individual who receives a 
                qualified disaster distribution may, at any time during 
                the 3-year period beginning on the day after the date 
                on which such distribution was received, make 1 or more 
                contributions in an aggregate amount not to exceed the 
                amount of such distribution to an eligible retirement 
                plan of which such individual is a beneficiary and to 
                which a rollover contribution of such distribution 
                could be made under section 402(c), 403(a)(4), 
                403(b)(8), 408(d)(3), or 457(e)(16), of the Internal 
                Revenue Code of 1986, as the case may be.
                    (B) Treatment of repayments of distributions from 
                eligible retirement plans other than iras.--For 
                purposes of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, if a 
                contribution is made pursuant to subparagraph (A) with 
                respect to a qualified disaster distribution from an 
                eligible retirement plan other than an individual 
                retirement plan, then the taxpayer shall, to the extent 
                of the amount of the contribution, be treated as having 
                received the qualified disaster distribution in an 
                eligible rollover distribution (as defined in section 
                402(c)(4) of such Code) and as having transferred the 
                amount to the eligible retirement plan in a direct 
                trustee to trustee transfer within 60 days of the 
                distribution.
                    (C) Treatment of repayments of distributions from 
                iras.--For purposes of the Internal Revenue Code of 
                1986, if a contribution is made pursuant to 
                subparagraph (A) with respect to a qualified disaster 
                distribution from an individual retirement plan (as 
                defined by section 7701(a)(37) of such Code), then, to 
                the extent of the amount of the contribution, the 
                qualified disaster distribution shall be treated as a 
                distribution described in section 408(d)(3) of such 
                Code and as having been transferred to the eligible 
                retirement plan in a direct trustee to trustee transfer 
                within 60 days of the distribution.
            (4) Definitions.--For purposes of this subsection--

                        of abode at any time during the incident period 
                        of such qualified disaster is located in the 
                        qualified disaster area with respect to such 
                        qualified disaster and who has sustained an 
                        economic loss by reason of such qualified

                amount required to be included in gross income for such 
                taxable year shall be so included ratably over the 3-

        the employee (determined immediately before the qualified 
        disaster referred to in such paragraph) and before the earlier
