More than one million private sector workers nationwide are now saving for retirement through state-facilitated Auto-IRA programs — a major milestone in the effort to address the nation’s retirement savings challenges.

Despite growing momentum across the country, Pennsylvania does not yet offer such a program.
We invite all of you to join our team of AARP-Wisconsin red-shirted volunteer advocates at one or more of the state’s four public hearings on Governor Evers’ proposed 2025-27 State Budget on four dates in April.

Retirement planning is crucial, yet many Americans, especially those in low-income, African American, and Hispanic communities, lack access to employer-sponsored retirement plans. States across the U.S. are implementing automatic IRA savings programs to address this gap. These programs automatically enroll workers in state-facilitated IRAs, making it easier for them to save for retirement. New Jersey is part of this movement, ensuring its residents have a straightforward way to build their financial future. What is the RetireReady NJ Program?
As we mark the 90th anniversary of Social Security this year, it’s a good time to reflect on its profound impact on American society since its creation in 1935.

Today, over 65 million Americans receive the money they've earned over a lifetime of hard work —253,000 Montanans receive Social Security.
