Retirement planning/tax question...
I am reviewing my life insurance and retirement planning situation, and am doing some calculations to evaluate different scenarios about my life expectancy and how it would affect my family's quality of life down the road. I have a question about the payout of my employer-sponsored retirement plan funds upon my death. I have a Vanguard Simple IRA through my employer - if I die before retirement/any distributions, what happens to the money? Can it be rolled over into another qualified plan by the beneficiary (my spouse)? Or does it just get immediately paid in a lump sum, with taxes taken out for early withdrawal? Or can it simply remain in the account until my spouse reaches retirement age?
TIA
