Webinar Summary
Join us for a free webinar presenting updates on the progress of the state retirement savings programs, designed to increase access to retirement savings for employees who do not have employer plans. We will look at recent studies examining the impact of these programs on retirement savings, private market retirement plan coverage, and potential interactions with other policies due to asset limits.
Read the accompanying brief!
Americans rely on a mix of Social Security benefits, employer retirement plan benefits, and earnings to support themselves during retirement. However, around 30% of private sector workers do not have access to a retirement savings plan, and only slightly more than half of all workers participate in one. In the last decade, almost every state has either considered or enacted legislation to establish state-facilitated retirement savings programs in an effort to make sure more workers have access to employer retirement plans.
This new brief looks at recent studies examining the impact of these state retirement savings programs on access and accumulation, as well as their interaction with private market retirement plan coverage, and potential interactions with other policies due to asset limits.
