Employees Cash Out 401(k)s in Record Numbers
In her 2/14/18 article, Workforce Magazine's Patty Kujawa examines the ongoing dilemma of 401(k) cashout leakage, quoting RCH's Spencer Williams as well as Keith Overly, Executive Director of the state of Ohio's defined contribution plan. Both agree that cashouts are a big problem and emphasize different aspects of its prevention, with Williams focusing on measures that make it easier to move retirement savings forward when participants change jobs.
Why We Urgently Need A ‘Sustainable’ 401k Defined Contribution System
In his latest article in 401k Specialist, RCH's Tom Hawkins makes the case for creating a 'sustainable' 401(k) defined contribution system. According to Hawkins, the current 401(k) system is unsustainable due to 1) rampant cashout leakage, 2) an explosion of small-balance accounts and 3) a surge in missing participants. Auto portability, says Hawkins, can address these problems and bring sustainability to our defined contribution system.
