Paul Fronstin, EBRI [Employee Benefit Research Institute]
Feb. 8, 2019
"EBRI is fortunate in having decades of experience in developing and mining retirement and health benefits data. Leveraging this experience, in 2018, EBRI undertook its initial steps in creating a financial wellness database that it will mine to help employers, policymakers, and the industry better understand how financial wellness initiatives move the dial on employee financial wellbeing.... Over time, our goal will be to demonstrate links to overall wellbeing by tying in claims data as well."

"EBRI has no comment on the president's most recent retirement proposals because there is not yet enough detail about them to conduct an informed analysis. Without more specifics, EBRI will not speculate about possible effects of the plan. In his speech, the president did refer to 'an upside-down tax code that gives big tax breaks to help the wealthy save, but does little to nothing for middle-class Americans.' EBRI has conducted analysis of the tax preferences for 401(k) plans, and concluded that, after controlling for age and tenure, 'actual 401(k) account balances are found to be, in large part, proportionate with compensation levels[.]'"

Early results indicate PPA is, in fact, beginning to achieve the growth in automatic 401(k) enrollment and savings that its sponsors predicted.

Excerpt: Of the 14.6 million 401(k) plan participants in the EBRI/ICI database, 80 percent were offered a plan loan by the plan sponsor. However, as has been the case for the six years that the EBRI/ICI databases have tracked 401(k) plan participants' loan activity, few participants have loans outstanding. At year-end 2001, only 16 percent of those eligible for loans have loans outstanding.

Sept. 11, 2024 "Employers view the consistent benefits made possible by ERISA preemption as a tool for increasing work force mobility ... ERISA preemption reduces administrative costs and burdens, thus enabling employers to deliver richer benefits and lower-cost coverage to their workers.... ERISA preemption fosters innovation that would otherwise be stifled by different states requiring different coverages or administrative rules....
