Excerpt: "Most Americans are indeed saving. They've heard time and time again how important it is to take advantage of their company plan and to do some saving on their own, because Social Security alone won't be enough for the big day.

DOL Issues Final Rule on SPD Content Requirements
Excerpt: "There are no big surprises in the final rule, as it largely adopts the changes set forth in the DOL's proposed rule issued on September 8, 1998. The final rule's primary focus is on SPD requirements pertaining to group health plans, although the rule also identifies and clarifies SPD requirements for pension and other welfare benefit plans."
