Disability and Retirement Security: New Research and Next Steps
WHEN: Thursday, October 20, 2016 10:30 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. ET
WHERE: Bipartisan Policy Center, 1225 Eye St. NW, Suite 1000, Washington, DC, 20005
Experiencing a disability is a life-changing event, affecting work, family, and finances, but too little attention has been given to the impact of disability on retirement security. The ongoing transition to defined contribution retirement plans has increased the urgency of this challenge. While many defined benefit pensions include features to address disability risk, these provisions are rare in 401(k) plans because they were not allowed until a recent regulatory change.
Join us on October 20 as we discuss new research from the Employee Benefit Research Institute on how retirement security is affected by disability, and what can be done to address this risk.
