Savings Plans

Registered Disability Savings Plans (RDSPs) Explained by Rebecca L Simpson
RDSP stands for Registered Disability Savings Plan. The RDSP works as a Canadian savings plan similar to the Registered Education Savings Plan (RESP). To be eligible for an RDSP, an individual must qualify for the Disability Tax Credit, and be under the age of 60. The disabled individual who receives the funds invested in the RDSP is called the beneficiary.
Contribution to a disabled individual’s RDSP can be made by anyone with written permission from the plan holder. The plan holder can be the disabled individual (if they are of legal age, and are legally able to enter into a contract), a legal parent, a guardian who the beneficiary has authorized to act on his/her behalf, or a public agency that is legally authorized to act for the beneficiary.
Contributions to the plan can be made until the year in which the beneficiary turns 59. There is an overall lifetime limit of $200,000 on the contributions that can be made to a plan, but there is no annual limit on the amount that can be contributed.
Government Grants & Bonds
A unique feature of the RDSP, and something it has in common with an RESP, is that contributions made are matched by the government of Canada. This comes in the form on the Canada disability savings grants (CDSG) and the Canada disability savings bonds (CDSB). The CDSG and CDSB can received until the year in which the beneficiary turns 49.
The CDSG has a lifetime limit of $70,000. An individual can receive up to $3,500 of matching grants, with a contribution of $1,500. The schedule for matching, for the year 2010, can be found at this CRA link: http://www.cra-arc.gc.ca/tx/ndvdls/tpcs/rdsp-reei/cdsg-eng.html.
The CDSB has a lifetime limit of $20,000. The bond does not require contributions to be made. The schedule, for the year 2010, can be found at the previously posted link.
Grants and bonds received in any of the ten preceding years of the following events must be repaid to the government:
-
the RDSP is voluntarily closed
-
the plan is deregistered
-
a Disability Assistance Payment (DAP) is made from the plan
-
the beneficiary is no longer eligible for the Disability Tax Credit
-
the beneficiary dies
Is an RDSP Better than a TFSA or an RRSP?
In some cases, a Tax-Free Savings Account (TFSA) or a Registered Retirement Savings Plan (RRSP) may be more lucrative than an RDSP. This is due to the fact that individuals receive a tax break when withdrawing from a TFSA and when contributing to an RRSP. There is no such tax break for an RDSP, which instead has the grants and bonds, which the other plans do not.
RDSPs are also more restrictive than TFSAs in when and how you can withdraw the funds within the plan. A reliable financial planner would perform calculations based on the grants, bonds and tax considerations, to see which plan is the most beneficial.
Conclusion
RDSPs are a great alternative for disabled Canadians, although they are not the only option. One must weigh the pros and cons of all savings plans, considering factors such as rate of return and the accessibility of invested funds.
Still, RDSPs are a great option for family members of disabled individuals, who would like to set up a trust for their disabled relative, and the grants and bonds can be lucrative to a low-income taxpayer.
About the Author
HandyTax helps disabled Canadians and their relatives get additional tax refunds from the federal and provincial governments.
The refund usually ranges between $1,400 and $35,000 and depends on the duration of the disability, the province of residence, and the age of the applicant.

The Italian Job (2003) (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack) $11.66 Composer John Powell pays homage to this film’s Eurocentrism and modern setting with a spare, twitchy main title and other cues that evoke a winning cross-pollinization of the oeuvres of Thomas Newman and David Holmes. Combining organic orchestral elements with electronic flourishes to good effect, that jazz-influenced, post-modernist tack quietly propels the best moments here. The score’s main sh… |

50 Psychological Experiments for Investors $24.95 Saving well is anything but an intuitive process. One must be capable of deciding how much to save each month and in what instruments to invest those savings. These are the basic decisions which determine the wealth of the individual, household, or family in the long-term. Reactions, either instinctive or bred by personal experience, do not always provide the golden rule for navigating the tricky waters of financial decisions. Arguments which seem to be a matter of common sense may in fact be folly. Emotions can lead to confused decisions or prevent wise choices. In the end, unconscious imitation and social comparison encourage the duplication of plans whose efficiency is far from sure.But all is not necessarily lost. A confrontation of the opposing points of view of economics and psychology has given birth to a new area of research, called behavioral economics, which elucidates how people in the real world make their economic decisions. This dynamic new discipline was endorsed by the awarding of the Nobel Prize in Economics to one of the discipline’s originators, Daniel Kahneman. Since its beginnings in the 1980s, it has highlighted clear differences between the economic and financial behavior of real individuals and what they would do if they were completely rational. An impressive volume of studies conducted worldwide now draws a clear picture of the investor and the personal faults that prevent him from performing.In this book, a little over 50 experiments run by scientists on different psychological factors affecting investment decisions are presented. The most important questions are treated: allocation of income to savings, planning for retirement, choice between assets, selection of mutual funds, appetite for real estate, hesitancy to invest in stocks, gender differences, and so on. Mentioned too are anecdotal aspects of the problem, such as the Monday blues which take hold of the grumpy and overcautious side of the investor at the start |

All That Happened at Number 26 $10.56 Denise Scott moved into number 26, with a husband, his circus equipment, a king-sized futon (but not a base), a Ventolin inhaler (to cope with stress-induced asthma), no savings to speak of, and their newborn baby. The husband lost his eyebrows; the circus equipment multiplied, spilling over into any available space; the futon went mouldy; the Ventolin ran out; and another baby was added to the family, putting paid to any ideas of further savings. Forget about future plans, it was enough just to make it through the day. All lives have their hiccups, though, and this is no misery memoir – far from it. The life that Denise and her husband John created in their ramshackle house is one of warmth, humour and good old-fashioned ingenuity. Written with Denise’s trademark candor, All that Happened at Number 26 is part memoir, part stand-up, and completely beguiling. |

Automatic: Changing the Way America Saves $2.87 Automatic offers an innovative new way to think about how Americans can save for retirement.Over the past quarter century, America’s pension system has shifted away from defined benefit plans and toward defined contribution savings programs such as 401(k)s and IRAs. There is much to be done to improve the defined contribution system. Many workers fail to participate and those who do often contribute too little, invest the funds poorly, and are not adequately prepared to manage funds while in retirement.To resolve these problems, the authors propose that employees should be automatically enrolled into a 401(k) plan when they are hired, with the right to opt out, change the amount that they contribute, or change investment choices if they choose. If the employer does not sponsor a 401(k) or similar retirement plan, they would be enrolled in a payroll deduction Automatic IRA. This vision of a transformed defined contribution system incorporates key positive features of defined benefit plans to improve retirement security. Employess contributions would increase over time, their investments would benefit from professional management and rebalancing, and they would receive lifetime income upon retirement. These automatic features will make the 401(k) and similar plans a more effective tool for retirement saving, and they can be extended to the many workers who do not currently have access to an employer plan. In Automatic, the authors present proposals to implement automatic features in all phases of the 401(k) and in IRAs for workers with no employer plan. They also draw from the experience of countries that have implemented automatic saving structures. |

So why are they finding it more difficult to finance their homes, send their kids to college, and save toward retirement? Couples who are strapped for time and weighed down by costly fixed expenses need more than a personal finance pep talk: They need a plan.

From stretching your budget and investing wisely in your home to protecting your family’s money and building wealth over the years, The Big Payoff offers a concise bounty of precious information and practical steps toward financial wellness. Epperson begins by showing couples how to communicate better about money. She helps them realize that the same qualities needed to create a lasting relationship—understanding, compromise, and patience—are vital when it comes to building a secure financial future. Every important decision couples make, whether it’s buying a home, having kids, changing jobs, or preparing for retirement, will inevitably involve a discussion about money, and Epperson teaches them how to handle finances with a cool hand while keeping the marriage vibrant and healthy. In addition, she empowers couples to take money matters into their own hands and shows them that by taking control of their finances, they can stop fretting about cash and start focusing on the important things in life. Each of the following chapters is designed to get partners talking and thinking about their financial life together. In eight easy-to-understand steps, Epperson unpacks the various options for saving money; creating emergency, retirement, and college savings plans; investing in a home; choosing the right life and health insurance; and drafting an estate plan.

Can We Afford to Grow Older? $1.45 “Can We Afford to Grow Older? is an impressive book which makes a major contribution toward the consolidation of our knowledge and understanding the economic aspects of what appears to be inevitable and probably irreversible demographic change. Covering a wide geographic spectrum across industrialized nations, it will appeal to graduate level study of the economics of aging and will appeal to all economists with a serious interest in this question.” — William J. Serow, Director, Center for the Study of Population, and Professor of Economics, Florida State University The United States Social Security fund is huge and in trouble. The United Kingdom has experimented with the voluntary contracting out of pensions to the private sector. Chile has privatized its public pension system. Australia has adopted a means-tested public pension system. Japan has the earliest retirement age of any advanced economy; it also has the highest rate of labor force participation by elderly men. Can We Afford to Grow Older? provides a comprehensive, up-to-date survey of the implications of population aging in these and other OECD countries relative to a range of specific interrelated issues — Social Security schemes, employer pensions, educational attainment, wage growth and distribution, economic productivity, consumption, savings, retirement, and health care — all within a realistic framework for modeling and discussing policy. International in scope, filled with rich institutional detail, and built on a solid technical foundation, this will be a standard reference on the economic consequences of aging. Richard Disney adopts a “life-cycle” view of the world which recognizes that individuals often make plans with a forward-looking perspective across the stages of childhood, the peak of economic productivity, and retirement.

Crimen de estado/ State Crime $18.53 In eve of the presidential change-over, the banking is nationalized, and by means of a President’s decree, the currency is devaluated in more than a hundred percent, the inflation goes up to three digits and the Mexicans’ savings in “mexdollars” become pesos with little value. By the end of that six years governmental period, in which the good administration of the oil abundance was proclaimed, the country was in fact plundered and left with empty arks. This was the scenario of Mexico in 1982 and the one that serves as a background for the fictitious characters of “State Crime”, a novel where the main characters badly need to find alternatives beyond the law, in order to avoid the country to collapse in their hands, in face of the economic crisis and the American government’s plans to take possession of the peninsula of Baja California. The violence of our days, the daily executions, the terror imposed by the assassins from the cartels and the comfortable position of the United States are incomprehensible without the reading of author Gregorio Ortega Molinas’ thrilling novel. En vísperas del relevo presidencial se nacionaliza la banca, se devalúa la moneda en más del cien por ciento, la inflación se dispara hasta sumar tres dígitos y los ahorros de los mexicanos en mexdólares se transforman en pesos con poco valor por orden del presidente. El sexenio que pregonaba la administración de la abundancia petrolera en realidad saqueó al país hasta dejarlo con las arcas vacías. Éste es el escenario de México en 1982 y que sirve de fondo en el que se mueven los personajes ficticios de Crimen de Estado. La violencia de nuestros días, las ejecuciones cotidianas, el terror que imponen los sicarios de los cárteles y la cómoda posición de Estados Unidos resultan incomprensibles sin la lectura de esta trepidante novela de Gregorio Ortega Molina. |

ERISA: Principles of Employee Benefit Law $110 ERISA: Principles of Employee Benefit Law highlights the common themes, central principles, and competing policies of employee benefit law in a compact, accessible work. Case law interpreting and applying ERISA, the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, is vast – there are thousands of reported decisions on some topics. This book selectively analyzes key cases to provide a coherent account of the principal features of ERISA, including both the labor and tax law components of employee benefit law. After an introduction to the types of employee benefit programs and an overview of ERISA’s policies and scope (Part I), the book examines the labor law requirements applicable to employee benefit plans, which are enforceable by private civil action and continue to produce a large volume of litigation. ERISA entails two very different approaches to the regulation of employee benefits. The administration of both welfare and pension plans is subject to federal oversight to promote informed participation and ensure compliance with plan terms (Part II). In addition to these conduct controls, pension plans are also subject to minimum standards governing the content of most deferred compensation programs (Part III). ERISA: Principles of Employee Benefit Law concludes with an exploration of the independent tax law requirements that retirement savings and health care plans must satisfy to obtain favorable tax treatment, including nondiscrimination standards and other rules intended to induce retirement savings for low-paid and middle-income workers (Part IV). The discussion illuminates fundamental flaws in the rules designed to target the tax subsidy and briefly explores several major reform proposals. |

Ensuring Fairness in Health Care Coverage: An Employer’s Guide to Making Good Decisions on Tough Issues $0.99 "Choosing a health care plan that is both ethically sound and financially prudent is one of the biggest challenges facing businesses today. Many people think that high-quality, compassionate health care plans are prohibitively expensive. But in reality, purely cost-driven decisions end up costing businesses more in the long run. Fair health care coverage decisions are actually good for business! Studies show that employees who see their benefits as fair are more likely to stay with their employer, be more productive, and refrain from legal action. Fairness is the best policy — but employers are uncertain how to reconcile doing what is right with doing what is cost-effective. Ensuring Fairness in Health Care Coverage provides employers with a solid ethical framework for making even the most challenging benefits decisions. Based on a study by the Ethical Force Program, led by the Institute for Ethics at the American Medical Association, this book enables employers to make difficult decisions about the fairness — and perceived fairness — of the health benefits they provide, such as: Whether to provide benefits to domestic partners. Whether to give lower coverage for mental than for physical illnesses. Whether to charge employees who smoke or who are obese more for health care coverage. How to differentiate between the various types of health care coverage — from HMOs to Health Savings Accounts — and how to determine which will benefit the most employees. Whether to index employee contributions to their salaries, with higher-paid employees paying more for the same benefits. This groundbreaking book provides five ethical guideposts to help employers make such decisions. The guideposts were developed by the Ethical Force Program’s extensive interviews with a national expert advisory board representing the perspectives of all major participants in the health care system, including |
