FSI Applauds Passage of SECURE Act
The Financial Services Institute (FSI) applauds Congress’ passage of the Setting Every Community Up for Retirement Enhancement Act (SECURE Act) as part of the end-of-year spending package. The bill is the most comprehensive retirement security legislation in more than a decade.
“The passage of the SECURE Act is a significant victory for Main Street Americans,” said FSI President & CEO Dale Brown. “We applaud Congress for passing this important measure to address the retirement savings crisis. Americans are living and working longer than ever before, and too many have inadequate savings as they enter retirement. Currently, 40% of private-sector workers do not have access to a workplace retirement plan. The SECURE Act will increase workers’ access to retirement savings and allow them to make contributions for as long as they are working. We urge President Trump to sign this legislation into law as quickly as possible.”
