## Summary

**Would allow periodic automatic reenrollment into retirement plans so workers who previously opted out can be treated as contributors again after 1 to 3 years.** The bill would amend the Internal Revenue Code and the Employee Retirement Income Security Act to permit periodic automatic deferral in Qualified Automatic Contribution Arrangements (QACAs) and Eligible Automatic Contribution Arrangements (EACAs) and to align related plan rules. - Workers and households: Participants who previously elected not to contribute can be treated as having made a contribution election again after 1 to 3 years unless they file a new election.
