Press Release

NTSA Unveils New Financial Literacy Program for Teachers, School District Workers

Issued by National Tax-Deferred Savings Association [NTSA]

Feb. 26, 2019

ARLINGTON, VA (Feb. 26, 2019) - In an effort to improve the understanding of retirement planning options and improve participation rates in 403(b) plans, the National Tax-Deferred Savings Association (NTSA) has created a comprehensive retirement educational program that is available to school districts and their employees across the United States.

The NTSA educational program, delivered via an NTSA certified retirement education specialist (CRES) advisor, is vendor-neutral and does not include any specific investment product recommendations. Attendees of the program gain a greater awareness of what they will need to save to supplement their pension plan and Social Security and how to take action.

"School district employees need the right information to make the best choice regarding their retirement security," noted Brent Neese, executive director of NTSA. "Many educators do not have access to Social Security, and reforms in state retirement systems are reducing retirement benefits. Therefore, for school district employees, the importance of personal savings in 403(b) plans is more critical to their retirement security than ever."

In order to deliver the program, a certified retirement education specialist must have completed a certificate program through the American Retirement Association (ARA) Retirement Planning Academy focused on the important retirement planning considerations of public employees. Additionally, the NTSA CRES Advisor must have agreed to abide by the highest standards of professional conduct and to coordinate all educational activity in accordance with school district solicitation policies and guidelines.

More information about the NTSA retirement education solutions for public sector employees and the Certified Retirement Education Specialist program is available at https://ntsa-cres.org.
