AARP Eye Center
More than 45 percent of Virginia workers—some 1.3 million people—don’t have access to an employer-sponsored retirement plan. AARP Virginia is urging lawmakers to establish a committee to study this issue in 2015 and recommend ways to help people save for the future.
AARP supported a bill this year that would have allowed the Virginia Retirement System to set up a savings program for private-sector employees without a pension or 401(k) plan. Although the bill never reached the House floor, AARP continues to push for solutions to help workers achieve financial security.
