Book excerpt: Automatic offers an innovative new way to think about how Americans can save for retirement. Over the past quarter century, America's pension system has shifted away from defined benefit plans and toward defined contribution savings programs such as 401(k)s and IRAs. There is much to be done to improve the defined contribution system. Many workers fail to participate and those who do often contribute too little, invest the funds poorly, and are not adequately prepared to manage funds while in retirement. To resolve these problems, the authors propose that employees should be automatically enrolled into a 401(k) plan when they are hired, with the right to opt out, change the amount that they contribute, or change investment choices if they choose. If the employer does not sponsor a 401(k) or similar retirement plan, they would be enrolled in a payroll deduction Automatic IRA. This vision of a transformed defined contribution system incorporates key positive features of defined benefit plans to improve retirement security. Employess contributions would increase over time, their investments would benefit from professional management and rebalancing, and they would receive lifetime income upon retirement. These automatic features will make the 401(k) and similar plans a more effective tool for retirement saving, and they can be extended to the many workers who do not currently have access to an employer plan. In Automatic, the authors present proposals to implement automatic features in all phases of the 401(k) and in IRAs for workers with no employer plan. They also draw from the experience of countries that have implemented automatic saving structures.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: According to one study, in 2011, 54 percent of wage and salary workers aged 21-64 worked for an employer that sponsored a pension plan, such as a defined benefit (DB) plan or a DC plan, but only about 45 percent of wage and salary workers aged 21-64 actually participated in the plan. DB plans provide periodic benefits in retirement that are generally based on employees' salaries and years of service. Employers may also choose to sponsor DC plans, under which both employers and employees can make contributions to the plan. Distributions in retirement are, in turn, based on contributions and investment returns in these accounts. Private sector employer-sponsored DB and DC plans are generally subject to the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA), as amended, which establishes standards for private sector pension plans and sets forth protections for participants in these plans. The Department of Labor's Employee Benefits Security Administration (EBSA) generally administers and enforces the Title I provisions of ERISA. These employer-sponsored plans must also meet certain requirements in the Internal Revenue Code (IRC), which are enforced by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS). Individuals can also save for retirement through IRAs, which allow individuals to make contributions for retirement regardless of whether they are covered by an employer-sponsored plan. The IRS has primary responsibility for ensuring that IRAs meet IRC requirements necessary to qualify for preferential tax treatment. Employers are continuing to shift away from sponsoring DB plans toward sponsoring DC plans. Data from the Department of Labor show that over the past few decades, DC plans have become the predominant plan type offered by private sector employers. Indeed, in 2010, over 90 percent of all employer-sponsored plans were DC plans. IRAs have also grown in importance in recent years and are a key retirement savings vehicle for many individuals. According to data from the Investment Company Institute, in the first quarter of 2013, IRA assets represented a larger portion of total U.S. retirement assets than 401(k) plans, the main type of DC plan. Specifically, IRA assets totaled almost $5.7 trillion, which represents about 27 percent of U.S retirement assets. In comparison, 401(k) assets accounted for about $3.8 trillion, or 18 percent, of U.S. retirement assets. Rollovers from 401(k) plans and other employer-sponsored plans are the predominant source of contributions to IRAs. Approximately 95 percent of money contributed to traditional IRAs in 2008 was attributable to rollovers, primarily from employer-sponsored plans. The greater reliance on DC plans and IRAs in the current retirement landscape indicates that the tax incentives are increasingly relevant for promoting retirement saving.

Book excerpt: " Participants in DC plans and IRAs may receive tax incentives for their contributions and lower-earning households may qualify for the Saver's Credit, an additional tax incentive for their contributions. However, less than half of the workforce participates in an employer-sponsored plan and upper-income workers have been more likely to take advantage of associated tax incentives. In recent years, proposals have been put forth to modify the Saver's Credit and create automatic IRAs, under which employers who do not sponsor a plan would generally be required to offer their employees the opportunity to save in an IRA through payroll deduction. These proposals would have fiscal impacts for the federal government. GAO was asked to review tax incentives for contributions to DC plans and automatic IRAs. GAO examined (1) the earnings and tax rates of households that do not have DC plans or IRAs, (2) the effects of the Saver's Credit on retirement income, and (3) the effects of automatic IRAs on retirement income, especially for low- and middle-income workers. GAO examined the characteristics of households that do not take advantage of these tax incentives using data from the 2010 Survey of Consumer Finances, simulated the effects of the Saver's Credit and automatic IRAs, and reviewed related proposals. GAO is making no recommendations. GAO received technical comments"

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Only about half of all workers participate in employer-sponsored retirement plans. To foster greater participation among workers who have access to such plans, Congress passed a law that facilitates plan sponsors' adoption of automatic enrollment policies (AEP). To foster greater retirement savings among workers who do not have access to an employer-sponsored plan, proposals have been made for an "automatic IRA" and at the state level for state-based programs. This report determined: (1) what is known about the effect of AEP among the nation's 401(k) plans, and the extent of and future prospect for such policies; and (2) the potential benefits and limitations of automatic IRA proposals and state-assisted retirement savings proposals.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The United States faces a serious retirement savings funding gap. In an effort to fill that gap, a number of states and municipalities have begun to consider, and in some instances adopt, automatic enrollment IRA programs. Indeed, between September 2012 and June 2016, five states enacted state automatic enrollment IRA programs.This Article takes a closer look at the IRAs in these state programs. It begins by providing an overview of the state laws creating automatic enrollment IRA programs. It then discusses the requirements that the state programs must satisfy in order to qualify as IRAs for purposes of the Internal Revenue Code and how effective the state programs are in satisfying these requirements. Finally, it concludes by discussing the distinction between Roth and traditional IRAs and which type of IRA is best suited to serve as the default IRA.

Book excerpt: Drawing on insights from behavioral law and economics, automatic enrollment IRAs are intended to address the nation's retirement savings gap by taking advantage of workers' inertia. Although automatic enrollment IRAs were initially intended to apply at the federal level, they have gained little traction at the federal level, and states have begun to step into the breach. Between September 2012 and June 2016, five states enacted state automatic enrollment IRA programs.Studies have uniformly shown that workers are more likely to participate in an automatic enrollment 401(k) plan than in a traditional opt-in 401(k) plan. Proponents of state automatic enrollment IRAs point to this experience to contend that state automatic enrollment IRAs are an answer, or at least a partial answer, to increasing retirement savings in this country. The efficacy of such programs, however, raises more complicated and nuanced questions. This article identifies the fundamental as well subsidiary and sometimes overlapping questions they raise. It then offers important insights on how to address the many issues these questions implicate.
