October is National Retirement Security Month (NRSM)
October is National Retirement Security Month (NRSM), this is a national event to promote the benefits of saving for retirement. This month we are encouraging everyone to think about their retirement plans and to review all available options, including employer-sponsored offered by SUNY. Here is information on the retirement plans and supplemental retirement savings plans available to SUNY Oswego employees.
NSRM is a perfect time to recognize the importance of planning now, to enjoy a more secure retirement later and there are different ways to do that! Below are some educational resources focused on these aspects:
- The National Association of Government Defined Contribution Administrators, Inc. (NAGDCA) offers videos focused on early-, mid-, and late-career stages, as well snapshots of savings journey maps for those under 35, ages 35-50, and over 50.
- The National Association of Retirement Plan Participants (NARPP) offers calculators for paying down debt and savings returns, and a retirement plan jargon glossary.
