April 3-7 is National Retirement Planning Week
WASHINGTON (Thursday, April 6, 2017) — Rep. Luke Messer (IN-06) filed bipartisan legislation in the U.S. House today, alongside colleagues in the Senate, to help working Americans better plan for retirement.
The Lifetime Income Disclosure Act (LIDA) would require retirement plans, like 401(k)s, to regularly disclose the real-world benefit of savings. To reach this goal, each 401(k) statement would be required to include a person’s current savings and how those savings would translate into a monthly paycheck for life.
This information will help a consumer understand whether they are saving enough or need to save more. A recent Gallup poll found that 64 percent of Americans are worried about not having enough money for retirement.
“We all struggle to know how far our savings will stretch into retirement,â€Â Messer said. “Seeing the value of a retirement account balance as a monthly income payment gives folks an idea of how much they will have for monthly expenses and whether they are saving enough today.â€
The bill was introduced today by Messer and Rep. Mark Pocan (WI-02) in the House. Sen. Johnny Isakson (R-GA) and Sen. Chris Murphy (D-CT) introduced a companion bill in the Senate.
“This bill creates a straightforward tool to help workers with employer sponsored retirement plans determine if they are on track to meeting their retirement goals.â€Â Pocan said. “Seeing how retirement savings translate into an expected monthly payment drives home the importance of saving early and often. I’m proud to join my colleagues in introducing this bipartisan bill to ensure Americans have better information to plan for retirement.â€
“American workers need access to the best available information about their investment choices and exactly how much they will have earned when they retire,â€Â said Isakson, chairman of the Senate labor subcommittee. “This information not only helps them to plan, but promotes increased savings while they are still working. Many workers count on defined contribution plans such as 401(k)s in their retirement planning, and this legislation will encourage participants to think of their 401(k) investments as a vehicle for lifetime income.â€
“People across Connecticut are losing sleep over their inability to save for retirement. It’s a silent crisis in our state that not enough people are talking about,â€Â Murphy said. “Senator Isakson and I introduced this bill to help families answer basic questions about how to save and how much to save. Our Lifetime Income Disclosure Act will help people make smarter, more informed decisions about whether or not they’re saving enough, and ensure that Connecticut families can retire with dignity.â€
Several industry groups sent letters to Rep. Messer urging support for LIDA, including TIAA, the Insured Retirement Institute (IRI), the American Council of Life Insurers and the Women’s Institute for a Secure Retirement (WISER).
April 3-7 is National Retirement Planning Week.
Evans Assistant Receives April Cause for Applause
Linda Carlisle, kindergarten assistant at Evans School, is the recipient of the Evansville Vanderburgh School Corporation’s April Cause for Applause award. The award seeks to recognize individuals who go above and beyond their normal job responsibilities.
According to coworker Rachel Davidson, Carlisle goes above and beyond everyday, donating her time and energy to the school. For example, Carlisle created an afterschool group for girls at Evans called Girls of Grace. The goal of the group is to help the girls become outstanding young women. Through the program, Carlisle invites guest speakers, takes the girls to restaurants, shows them how to sew and much more. Carlisle also tirelessly works to get donations for the school and works with the school’s PTA, even volunteering to serve as PTA president.
“Her title of support staff is incredibly fitting because she is so supportive year round,†wrote Davidson in her nomination.
Anyone can nominate an employee of the EVSC for the award. Deadline for nominations is the third Friday of each month. To nominate an EVSC employee, go to www.evscschools.com and click on About Us and see Cause for Applause under Community. Paper forms are available at the schools for those without access to the Internet.

The measure by Republican Rep. Kathy Richardson of Noblesville passed the Senate on a 44-3 vote Wednesday.
Under the proposal, the first two hours would not be billed. After that, hours spent working to complete the request would come with a bill that’s the lesser of $20 per hour or the hourly wage of the employee completing the search.
The bill’s author said public records requests can take an excessive amount of government workers’ time.
Opponents disagree with charging for requests under open government laws. They point out that government employees are paid by taxpayers.
The University of Southern Indiana baseball team fell behind early and lost a rain-shortened game to the University of Evansville, 5-1, Wednesday evening at Charles H. Braun Stadium. USI watched its record go to 12-14 overall, while Evansville goes to 9-20.
The Purple Aces put on a power display with two home runs in jumping out to a 4-0 lead after three innings. Evansville scored three in the first and one in the third to get the early advantage.
USI put a tally on the scoreboard in top of the fifth, taking advantage of three Evansville errors. Senior rightfielder Cody Montgomery (Shepherdsville, Kentucky) crossed the plate with USI’s only run, scoring when junior second baseman Joe Redburn (Newburgh, Indiana) hit into a double play.
The Eagles missed a chance to get back into the game in the seventh when they loaded the bases with one out and failed to score. USI also tried to rally in the eighth when it led off the frame with a hit and a walk before the rains came and washed out the final two innings.
On the mound, junior right-hander Nick Gobert (Jasper, Indiana) received the loss for the Eagles. Gobert (0-1) allowed four runs on six hits in an abbreviated two-plus innings of work.
Sophomore left-hander Chase Partain (Evansville, Indiana) followed Gobert to the mound and had a strong outing in relief. Partain went four innings, allowing one run on two hits and striking out four batters.
The Eagles return to the friendly surroundings of the USI Baseball Field to host a four-game series with the University of Wisconsin-Parkside April 8-9. For up to date information on coverage of USI Baseball, visit GoUSIEagles.com.
USI holds a 42-27 lead over the Rangers of UW-Parkside, taking three of four last year at the USI Baseball Field after being moved from Kenosha, Wisconsin, due to weather. The Eagles have won 27 of 32 games from the Rangers since Head Coach Tracy Archuleta made the move to USI from the University of Wisconsin-Parkside.
