Retirement Plans, Benefits & Savings


Retirement Savings

The Department of Labor launched a Retirement Savings Education Campaign in July 1995. On the fifth anniversary of the campaign, the Department unveiled its new campaign logo and slogan, "Saving Matters."

DOL has a toll-free Publication Hotline (1-866-275-7922) to distribute publications geared to educating participants and employers about saving and protecting their benefits.

The Savings Are Vital to Everyone's Retirement Act of 1997, known as the "SAVER Act," directed the Department of Labor to continue its series of outreach programs on retirement savings. The SAVER Act also directed DOL to convene a National Summit on Retirement Savings co-hosted by the White House and Congress. The first summit was held on June 4-5, 1998. The second Summit was held February 27 - March 1, 2002. Please see www.saversummit.dol.gov for more information on the summits.
