Retirement Plans for All?

The White House recently released a Fact Sheet about proposals that will be included in the 2017 budget. One of those has to do with employers offering their employees retirement plans. According to this release, less than 10% of American workers contribute to some sort of retirement plan on their own if their employer does not sponsor one.

One of the President’s proposals would require employers with more than ten employees to automatically enroll each employee in an IRA if that employer does not offer its employees a retirement plan. A tax credit of up to $3,000 would be offered to employers with less than one hundred employees for this “auto-IRA” requirement.
