HD 1580 Massachusetts House · 194th Legislature (2025-2026)

An Act to provide retirement security to care workers

This bill creates a retirement savings program for personal care attendants and family child care providers in Massachusetts. It requires the state to establish a retirement account program (similar to a 403(b)) with mandatory state employer contributions, including a 100% match on employee contributions up to a cap. The program must include labor representation on governance, low fees, and financial literacy resources, with the Department of Medical Assistance acting as employer for personal care attendants and the Department of Early Education and Care as employer for family child care providers. Implementation must be completed within one year of the bill's passage.
