SECURE Act could reduce retirement savings shortfall — EBRI
P&I's Brian Croce examines EBRI's new Issue Brief, which models the impact of key provisions of the SECURE Act. Croce notes that EBRI's projection of the legislation's baseline benefits produces an overall reduction in the Retirement Savings Shortfall (RSS) of 3%, or $115 billion, while the addition of auto portability dramatically increases those benefits to yield a 10%, or $383 billion reduction in the RSS measure.
EBRI: Auto Portability Adds More Retirement Security to the SECURE Act
A new Issue Brief released by the Employee Benefit Research Institute (EBRI) examines the impact of the SECURE Act's most important provisions on Americans' retirement security. The EBRI brief projects that the SECURE Act will reduce the nation's $3.81 trillion Retirement Savings Shortfall (RSS) by 3%, or $115 billion. However, when combined with auto portability, the RSS is reduced by 10%, or $383 billion -- a massive, incremental benefit.
401kSpecialist: Socially Conscious Corporations Will Solve 401k Cashout Leakage
Writing in 401kSpecialist, RCH's Tom Hawkins predicts that socially conscious private-sector corporations will soon address the nation's 401(k) cashout leakage crisis by adopting plan-to-plan portability, including auto portability. Driving Hawkins' conclusions are three key developments: 1) a growing understanding of the problem and its societal impacts, 2) access to viable portability solutions and 3) corporate acceptance of the responsibility to act for the benefit of society. Hawkins further notes that this view is now being echoed in retirement research & public policy circles.

Writing in Medium, RCH's Tom Hawkins makes the case that socially conscious private-sector corporations will soon solve the nation's 401(k) cashout leakage crisis by fully-embracing plan-to-plan portability, including auto portability. Three key developments drive Hawkins' conclusions, including 1) a growing understanding of the problem and its societal impacts, 2) access to a viable solution and 3) clear acknowledgment of a responsibility to act for the benefit of society.

Auto-Portability: What it is, Why it’s Needed, and How it Will Strengthen Retirement Security
Georgetown University's prestigious Center for Retirement Initiatives (CRI) makes clear their advocacy for solving the nation's cashout leakage problem through the application of auto portability. A team of research analysts (Andrew Green, Benjamin Roth) along with CRI executive director Angela Antonelli, details the negative societal impact of cashout leakage and makes a strong case for the adoption of auto portability, a solution that research indicates will deliver significant benefits to minorities. The team cites the growing support for auto portability, including bipartisan political support, and concludes that "plan sponsors should take action to further facilitate the adoption of auto-portability, and in doing so, improve the retirement security of millions of Americans."
There Is An Easy Way To Avoid Billions In Lost Retirement Savings
In her latest column for Forbes, Angela Antonelli, executive director of Georgetown University's Center for Retirement Initiatives (CRI), makes clear her advocacy for solving the nation's cashout leakage problem through the application of auto portability. Antonelli, a noted retirement researcher and public policy expert, details the negative societal impact of cashout leakage, before making a strong case for the adoption of auto portability, a solution that she believes will deliver particular benefits to minorities. Antonelli concludes with a clear call to action, stating that "we have a solution and it is time to get it done."
For Every Dollar Saved For Retirement, At Least 20 Cents Is Withdrawn Too Early
According to Forbes retirement contributor Elena Botella, Americans not only save too little for retirement, they don't keep enough of what they save. Botella examines the phenomenon known as "leakage" and reveals that it's a big problem -- where 20 cents of every dollar saved for retirement is withdrawn too early. Botella cites Retirement Clearinghouse's DOL-approved auto portability program as a viable solution to leakage, delivered through a network of retirement plan recordkeepers.
The New Age of 401(k) Plan Portability
Writing in 401kSpecialist, RCH's Tom Hawkins identifies clear, across-the-board indications that America's defined contribution (DC) system is entering a "new age" of plan-to-plan portability. Portability, Hawkins contends, is the "missing ingredient" that, when added to 401(k) plans, will resolve the damaging disconnect between America's highly-mobile workforce and their immobile retirement savings.
