Distributions From Qualified Plans.

Regulation Project Number: EE–43– 

92. 

Abstract: This regulation implements 

the provisions of the Unemployment

that can be rolled over tax-free to 

another eligible retirement plan unless 

such amounts are transferred directly to 

such other plan in a ‘‘direct rollover’’ 

transaction. These provisions also 

require qualified pension plans and taxsheltered annuities to offer their 

participants the option to elect to make 

‘‘direct rollovers’’ of their distributions 

and to provide distributees with a 

written explanation of the tax laws 

regarding their distributions and their 

option to elect such a rollover.

this existing regulation.
