The Department of Labor is changing rules about how retirement plans can send financial statements to workers. Instead of allowing plans to send everything electronically, the new rule requires companies to send paper statements in certain situations, particularly when workers have not actively chosen to receive documents online. This matters because it ensures that people managing their retirement savings actually see important information about their accounts rather than potentially missing digital messages.
