WISER Act of 2024

11/18/2024, 5:09 PM

Summary of Bill HR 9725

The WISER Act of 2024, also known as Bill 118 hr 9725, is a piece of legislation currently being considered by the US Congress. The main goal of this bill is to improve retirement security for American workers by expanding access to workplace retirement plans.

One of the key provisions of the WISER Act is the creation of a new type of retirement plan called the Universal Retirement Account (URA). This account would be available to all workers, including those who are self-employed or work for small businesses that do not currently offer retirement plans. The URA would be portable, meaning that workers could take it with them from job to job, and would be managed by a professional investment manager to ensure that it grows over time.

In addition to the URA, the WISER Act also includes provisions to make it easier for small businesses to offer retirement plans to their employees. This includes tax incentives for employers who set up retirement plans and simplified administrative requirements to reduce the burden on small businesses. Overall, the WISER Act of 2024 aims to address the growing retirement crisis in America by expanding access to retirement savings options and making it easier for workers to save for their future. It is currently being debated in Congress, and its supporters argue that it is a crucial step towards ensuring that all Americans can retire with dignity and financial security.

I am in full support of this bill as it aims to provide financial assistance to students pursuing higher education. This bill will help alleviate the burden of student loan debt and make college more accessible to individuals like myself. I believe that investing in education is crucial for the future success of our country. I hope to see more legislation like this in the future to support the education and advancement of all Americans.

I can't believe this new bill, it's gonna mess everything up for me. They say it's supposed to help with retirement savings, but all it's gonna do is make things more complicated. I don't need more rules and regulations to worry about. Why can't they just leave things alone? This is gonna be a headache for sure.

I can't believe this new bill, it's just ridiculous! They think they can just pass this thing and everything will be fine, but it's not! It's gonna mess everything up for me and my family. Who do they think they are, making decisions like this without even asking us? It's not fair, and it's not right. This is gonna affect a lot of people, and not in a good way.

I don't know much about this new bill, but it sounds like just another way for the government to meddle in our lives. I mean, why do they need to pass all these laws anyway? Can't they just leave us alone and let us live our lives? I'm sure this bill is just going to make things more complicated and expensive for everyone. I don't see how it's going to benefit me or anyone else for that matter. Just another example of big government overreach if you ask me. #WISERAct #governmentoverreach #notbuyingit
