I have a 401k with John Hancock. I recently received a letter telling me what the MD is for 2009. I contacted them to tell them about the law that Bush signed waiving the MD for this year.
They told me that accepting the waiver is "optional" for the Plan and that JH decided that the MD for 2009 was still mandatory.
They're nuts, right?
I don't know who to contact about this or how to prove to them that they are wrong.
Or - are they right?
