Stakeholder(s):

  • ODEPSupporting Agencies: Promoting Retirement Security -- ODEP, in partnership with the Social Security Administration and the Centers for Medicaid and Medicare Services, supports the work of EBSA and PBGC to improve health benefits and retirement security for workers with disabilities by promoting the adoption and implementation of effective policy and practice, such as the use of “Benefits Planning” for people with disabilities so that they can make informed decisions on how federal disability benefit programs may impact their health benefits and retirement security. WB also complements the efforts of EBSA and PBGC and will continue to promote financial literacy and education. This will involve education and outreach of a revised financial literacy curriculum, in English and Spanish, and collaborations with other DOL agencies to examine policies and to educate stakeholders on policies, laws, and regulations that yield inequitable outcomes for women in retirement.
