BOARD OF TRUSTEES
About 4 million people can expect to receive their stimulus cash on the preloaded Visa cards, which are being sent in the mail in plain envelopes marked “Money Network Cardholder Services.” They differ from typical debit cards because they are not linked to bank accounts and instead just come preloaded with an individual’s allotted stimulus payment amount.
The debit cards, issued by the Treasury Department’s financial agent MetaBank, are being sent to some individuals instead of paper checks if they don’t have direct deposit information on file with the tax agency.
According to the IRS, the 4 million people who will receive their $1,200 economic impact payments on prepaid debit cards were determined by a part of the Treasury Department known as the Bureau of the Fiscal Service.
Users can activate their card and set up their four-digit PIN by calling 1.800.240.8100.You will be asked to confirm your identity by at least providing your name, address and Social Security number.
For cards with two names, only the primary cardholder – the first name listed – will be able to activate the card. IRS TO ISSUE CORONAVIRUS STIMULUS PAYMENTS ON PREPAID DEBIT CARD

CARES Act lets you skip your 2020 distribution
Did you know that you can waive your 2020 required minimum distributions (RMDs) as a result of the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act that was enacted in March?
The RMD waiver was intended to help investors conserve their retirement assets in the wake of the coronavirus pandemic and the associated market volatility. However, we recognize that many clients rely on RMDs to meet their spending needs. If you haven’t taken your 2020 RMD, you can either skip it or proceed with distribution(s) to satisfy your personal circumstances.
If you prefer to keep your money invested, the CARES Act also offers added flexibility to “roll back” distributed RMDs to an IRA or employer-sponsored plan.
RMD waiver guidelines
The RMD waiver applies to both: • 2020 RMDs, including ones from IRAs, inherited IRAs, and employer-sponsored plans such as 401(k) plans. • 2019 RMDs due by April 1, 2020, for individuals who turned 70½ last year and didn’t take the RMD before January 1, 2020.
How do I reinvest (roll back) a distributed RMD?
If you’ve already taken RMDs in 2020, you may be able to roll them back to an IRA or employer-sponsored plan (if the plan permits). The IRS has extended the 60-day rollover deadline to July 15, 2020, for distributions, including RMDs, for which the 60-day rollover deadline would’ve fallen between April 1, 2020, and July 15, 2020. As a result of this extension, individuals who received an RMD between February 1, 2020, and May 15, 2020, likely have until July 15, 2020, to complete the rollover. If you took a January distribution, unfortunately it doesn’t fall within the extended rollover window. Keep in mind that: • Distributions from IRAs are also subject to 1 rollover per 365 days. You can find more information about rollover rules at irs.gov. • IRS rules do not permit distributions from inherited IRAs to be rolled over. • The IRS may issue additional rollover guidance in the future
Updated directories will be available for our residents to pick up. They will be on a bench outside the main entrance of the clubhouse.
As you know from the Friday robo call, we are replacing 25 of the Ash trees that were removed in the Fall. About 40 trees will be going up in our community during the next few weeks. The replacements consist of Japanese Lilac, Kousa Dogwood, City Sprite Zelkova. In accordance with a Wall Township Ordinance we will also be planting Norway Spruce.
The 2020 Common area plantings will consist of Kwanzan Cherry Trees, Norway Spruces, Japanese Lilac trees, and City Sprite Zalkova Trees.
G&I are introducing a variety of trees so as to give us some protection should a new problem impact any certain tree variety.
Thanks to all on G&I for their work on this multi-year project.
Our front gates have a battery powered back up system that will allow the gates to be opened in the event of a power failure. The front gate is also the access point for Police, Fire, and Emergency vehicles.
The back gates do not have the backup system in place. In the event of a power outage residents will have to enter/exit the community via the front gate.
This was discussed at today’s Board meeting and the HOA will be getting an estimate to install a battery backup system for the rear gates.
Despite limitations imposed by the COVID 19 virus, our ACC is operating. This is a time of the year that many of our residents undertake outdoor work on the building or property that require ACC filing and approval in advance.
The ACC Request for Modification package, as well as the ACC guidelines are posted on the web site.
Thank you to all the ACC members for the work they do on behalf of our Community.
