## Summary

**Periodic automatic reenrollment** for workplace retirement contributions. This bill would let plans restart an employee's automatic 401(k) deferrals after 1-3 years unless the employee makes a new election. It aligns Internal Revenue Code and ERISA rules so plans can treat certain formerly excluded workers as having elected to participate. - Workers and households: Employees who previously opted out would be treated as re-enrolled after 1-3 years and contributions resume at the plan's uniform percentage unless they opt out again. - Employers and plan sponsors: Plans may apply a one-time, plan-year termination of opt-outs for all affected employees at once, simplifying administration. - Plan rules and covered employees: The bill amends sections 401(k)(13)(C), 414(w)(3), and ERISA section 514(e)(2) and defines "previously disregarded employees" so the periodic reenrollment rule applies. It applies to plan years beginning after enactment.
