The bill, HR 10 would also increase the amount of money workers could contribute to IRAs and 401 (k) plans, and would allow employees age 50 and older to contribute an additional $5,000 each year to their pension plan.
It would also make it easier for employees who change jobs to rollover pension funds into their new employer’s plan or into an IRA.
