Retirement Savings for Americans Act of 2025
The Retirement Savings for Americans Act of 2025 would establish a new government-managed retirement savings program called the American Worker Retirement Fund, primarily for workers without access to employer-sponsored retirement plans. It would automatically enroll eligible workers at a 3% contribution rate (with the option to opt-out) and provide a government match tax credit of up to 5% of income for contributions. The fund would be invested in various options including government securities, fixed-income, and stock index funds, managed by an independent board of experts. Participants would have access to their funds at retirement age with multiple withdrawal options, and the program would include financial literacy requirements to help participants make informed decisions. This program would directly affect qualifying workers (employees without retirement plans or independent contractors without retirement plans) and participating employers who would be required to enroll eligible workers.
