SECURE 2.0 Updates

Employee Eligibility

More long-term, part-time workers are now eligible to enroll in RPB’s plan after they’ve worked at a URJ-affiliated congregation for two years.

Employers can take advantage of this provision immediately and enroll more of your part-time employees, including seasonal workers.

Updated RPB plan eligibility

Any employee of a qualified employer who is 18 years or older is eligible to enroll in the RPB Retirement Plan if they meet one of the following requirements:

  • Works in a role that requires membership in a Reform Movement professional organization and is an active member (see the table below).

  • Works an average of 18 hours per week or more in a role that does not require membership in a Reform Movement professional organization, including those employees in administrative, finance, custodial, security, seasonal, or other positions.

  • NEW! Works an average of 9 to 17 hours per week (at least 468 – 935 hours annually) with a minimum of 2 years of service in a role that does not require membership in one of the Reform Movement professional organizations, including those employees in administrative, finance, custodial, security, seasonal, or other positions.

  • Works for a Reform Movement institution, such as the URJ, CCAR, or RPB.
