A Path to Retirement Savings Cleared for Connecticut Workers

The below is from the story by Tribuna

The passage of the Connecticut Retirement Security Program by this year’s state legislature has cleared a path to a secure financial retirement for more than 600,000 Connecticut residents, including over 60 percent of Hispanics and Latinos. Prior to the new law, those hardworking men and women employed by small businesses were not guaranteed an opportunity for a workplace retirement savings plan. Now, the path will be paved and the road to a brighter financial future open by 2018.

AARP has been an advocate for the implementation of such an act for several years and applaud our elected officials for creating and passing the plan, which adds no additional cost to taxpayers and will lead to less reliance on state-funded social safety net services in the future.
