October is National
Retirement Security Month, an opportunity for workers of all
ages to reflect on their retirement savings and goals. To celebrate the
month, ACL is highlighting the tireless and impactful work of our
partners, including our resource centers to ensure economic security and
opportunities for retirement income for older Americans.
In particular, ACL recognizes the vital work of the Pension
Rights Center, the Women's
Institute for a Secure Retirement (WISER), and the regional
pension counseling centers whose work focuses on removing barriers to
retirement and assisting older adults in accessing their retirement
benefits. ACL resource centers and grantees provide a range of resources
and programs to help older Americans access much-needed retirement
income, prepare for retirement, and address issues that arise after
receiving retirement income.
These ACL-supported programs assist individuals and
populations who are often overlooked and underserved, such as widowed and
divorced spouses who need help accessing the pension and other retirement
benefits to which they are entitled. They also seek to address the
challenges that communities of color and women often have in preparing
and saving for retirement, and they work to reduce and address the impact
of financial exploitation on older adults. In these unprecedented times,
these organizations have worked to address the specific impact that the
COVID-19 pandemic has had, and will continue to have, on economic and
retirement security for both benefit earners and their spouses.
Below, we’ve compiled a variety of retirement security
resources from our contractors, grantees, and federal partners.
