Robson Communities, Inc. recently announced that all new homes will be constructed under Masco Homes Services Inc.’s Environments For Living (EFL) program, which prescribes state-of-the-art requirements for energy efficiency and advanced construction techniques. Robson is a large, privately owned active adult community developer in Arizona and each of its seven unique active adult resort-style communities in Arizona and Texas has begun building their new homes according to EFL standards.  The program establishes requirements for tight construction, enhanced thermal systems, fresh air ventilation, balanced air pressure, internal moisture management and combustion safety. A plan review is conducted for each new model to help builders determine the steps required to meet the program requirements.

At all program levels for builders participating in the EFL program, Masco Home Services offers their homeowners limited guarantees* on comfort and heating and cooling energy use. If the actual energy used to heat and cool the home exceeds the estimated usage amount on the guarantee, the homeowner will be refunded 100 percent of the cost difference.

“Quality construction has always been paramount in Robson Resort Communities and energy efficiency is a direct result of our ongoing focus on building excellence” said Chris Harrison, senior vice president of construction for Robson Resort Communities. “We are very excited about introducing the EFL programs into our communities and over 50 home models.”

A new report from the Center for Retirement Research at Boston College finds that 40 percent of individuals 45-59 expect to retire later than they had before the downturn, with most of the respondents intending to work an additional four or more years before retirement.  The survey entitled, Workers’ Response to the Market Crash: Save More, Work More, interviewed 1,317 individuals age 45-59 on how the stock market crash of 2008 has affected their retirement planning. These workers are heavily dependent on 401(k) plans, as opposed to traditional defined benefit pensions, as a source of retirement income. During the economic downturn, these plans lost about one-third of their value. Even before the crash, many older workers lacked the assets needed to enjoy a comfortable retirement.

Other findings from the survey:

• Two-thirds of workers age 45 to 59 report less retirement savings than they had before the crash.
• More than a quarter reporting a level of distress in response to the downturn equal to or greater than that caused by the 9/11 terrorist attacks.
• About 40 percent expect to retire later than they had before the downturn, most of those who intend to work longer are delaying retirement by four or more years.
• Two- thirds of respondents reported no change in how much they save for retirement in 401(k)s, IRAs, or other accounts.
• Nearly 60 percent reported that they are spending less (which is equivalent to saving more if income is unchanged).

Workers’ Response to the Market Crash: Save More, Work More?

A taxpayer may be able to take a tax credit of up to $1,000 (up to $2,000 if filing jointly) if he or she makes eligible contributions to an employer sponsored retirement plan or an IRA. This credit is a nonrefundable tax credit. A nonrefundable credit means that the credit cannot exceed the amount of the tax liability. This credit has also been known in the past as the saver’s credit. This credit is in addition to any IRA contribution or contributions made to a qualified plan made by the taxpayer.

Credit – The credit is computed based on the taxpayer’s filing status and adjusted gross income. The Internal Revenue Service provides a table that indicates an applicable percentage ranging from 10% to 50% to determine the amount of the credit.

Eligibility To be qualify for this credit, the following conditions must be met: (a) Taxpayer must have made a contribution to an IRA or qualified retirement savings plan. (b) Taxpayer must be at least 18 years of age as of December 31, 2009. (c) Taxpayer cannot be claimed as a dependent by someone else. (d) Taxpayer cannot be a full-time student. (e)Taxpayer had to be born prior to January 2, 1992. (f) The taxpayers adjusted gross income cannot exceed $27,750 if single, or $41,625 for a head of household or $55,500 if married filing jointly.

Limitations to the Credit – Usually distributions decrease eligible contributions. In this connection, contributions taken in determining the credit must be reduced by distributions received over a definite period of time, which the IRS considers as the “test period”. The current tax year, the following tax year up to the due date of the tax return including filed extensions, plus the two preceding tax years consist of the “test period”. Though, trustee to trustee transfers and rollover distributions do not offset the amount of the credit.In addition distributions from a military retirement plan do not reduce the credit.

How to Take the Credit You can take the credit on the form entitled “Credit for Qualified Retirement Savings Contributions” on Form 8880. You are entitled to the credit if you file Forms 1040 or 1040A. If you generally file Form 1040EZ then file Form 1040. The IRS permits you to file your 2009 tax return claiming an IRA contribution that will be made in 2010, in that case the IRS will consider that contribution providing it is made prior to the filing date of your tax return in the next year, 2010, as an allowable contribution when determining the amount of this credit. The amount of the retirement savings contribution credit claimed by you cannot be greater than your income tax liability less foreign tax credits plus alternative minimum tax liabilities.

Willow Towers, a not-for-profit luxury Assisted Living Residence in New Rochelle, New York, and part of the United Hebrew of New Rochelle’s campus of senior services, announced the receipt of the new Assisted Living Residence (ALR) licensure, with dual certification for Enhanced Assisted Living Residence (EALR) and Special Needs Assisted Living Residence (SNALR) by the New York State Department of Health. The new accreditations were developed to strengthen the standards of caring for older adults in a senior residence. A licensed facility in New York provides clients with clear parameters for admission and retention and allows a family to advocate through clearly defined channels through the New York State Department of Health.  Willow Towers features a two-story glass atrium and dazzling views of the Long Island Sound. Opened in 2003, the not-for-profit community located in New Rochelle offers 126 apartments, from studios to 2 bedroom suites — 20 of which are in Willow Towers’ Phoenix Memory Support Neighborhood, now a licensed SNALR.

Lisa Newcomb, Executive Director of the not-for-profit Empire State Association of Assisted Living (ESAAL), which is dedicated to strengthening New York State’s assisted living industry and promoting the best interests of providers and residents, points out that “licensing is an important form of protection for consumers, and we congratulate Willow Towers staff for all the hard work they did to get this enhanced new licensing and certification.”

“This licensure will allow our residents to age in place and continue to be a part of our vibrant community,” said Rita Mabli, President and CEO of United Hebrew of New Rochelle, the flagship organization of Willow Towers. “We are so very proud of our enhanced status.” said Jean Dunphy, Executive Director of Willow Towers, “This licensure underscores our daily efforts and moral obligation to bring the best standards and expanded care to our residents.”

Can a person in their middle years or senior years still buy life insurance? If you are over 50, or if you are caring for an older person, you can find a wide choice of products. Since statistics show that Americans are living longer and healthier lives, insurers are willing to extend affordable coverage to older people. Most middle aged and older people can still find life insurance policies.

Why are baby boomers and seniors looking for policies? At thirty or forty, a lot of us bought a twenty or thirty year term life insurance policy. That seemed like plenty of time to save money, get our kids educated, and pay off our mortgage. We figured that by the time we were fifty or sixty, we would have everything in order, and we would not need coverage any more.

But these days, many of us found that the theory did not prove out for us. Our kids did not manage to become totally self supporting as fast as we thought they would. Sometimes those kids come home with our own kids, and they still need our help. And we did plan to pay off that mortgage. But many of us got delayed because we moved or needed to take out a second loan. Years passed, but we did not outgrow our need for a life insurance policy.

You may also think that we should already have coverage by the time we get to middle age. Most of us did have some sort of policy in our lives. But our term policies may have expired after 20 or 30 years. Thankfully we outlived them! Or we may have had coverage from a group policy at work. But we left that job long ago because we quit or retired. So now we find ourself older, but without any coverage.

What life insurance should older people look for? Before you buy anything, you should think about why you want to buy a policy. Do you just want coverage to make sure your kids or spouse have money? Or do you want to build an asset that may help you in the future? Finaly, you may want to use your policy to help transfer wealth to your family?

If a person is sure they just want coverage, they may consider another term policy. It will probably be much cheaper than whole life. A middle aged person, or even a younger senior, may still find affordable term life. These lower premiums are important to consider.

Some term policies can be converted to permanent policies later. This allows you to get the cheaper one now, and then decide if you need lifetime coverage later. Since you are not sure what you will need in ten or twenty years, this may be a good option. These policies should not require you to prove you are healthy either.

If you want to use your policy to build an asset for yourself, or for your family, you probably want to consider whole life. After time, it can build a cash value which can be handy. You could use it to borrow against, cash in, or in a life settlement transaction. In any case, you will have lifetime coverage.

How much will this cost you. Premiums will vary by many factors. These include the size of the death benefit, the type of insurance, your age, and your general health. An experienced insurance agent should be able to help you explore your options. Just be careful if they seem too concentrated on one type of policy.
