Short Statement:
The Miscellaneous Corrections, Clarifications and Improvements final rule amended 29 CFR 4041.29 to provide an alternative filing date for the post-distribution certification (Form 501), which gives filers more time to file the Form 501. The alternative filing option would require a plan administrator to certify to PBGC in an email by the statutory deadline that all assets have been distributed. Filers then would have an additional 30 days to file a completed Form 501.
