Auto Portability (18)
Consolidation Corner Blog
Consolidation Corner is the Retirement Clearinghouse (RCH) blog, and features the latest articles and bylines from our executives, addressing important retirement savings portability topics.
A Big Step Forward for Auto Portability
On July 11th, 2017, a small group of retirement services professionals at Retirement Clearinghouse (RCH) successfully conducted the first-use of a new and important financial technology. Known as “locate & match” -- the technology represents a breakthrough in the ability to automatically move small balances forward in America’s defined contribution system, and forms the backbone of RCH Auto Portability.
Washington Recognizes Need for Retirement Plan Portability Solutions – Part 2
In January 2016, this blog published a post on the November 2015 letter from Senator Patty Murray (D–WA) of the Senate HELP committee, signed by a bicameral group of Congressional members, urging then Department of Labor (DOL) Secretary Thomas Perez to encourage the DOL’s Employee Benefits Security Administration to issue guidance on auto portability.
Rising Healthcare Costs Necessitate Healthy Retirement-Saving Habits
If you think of retirement savings as a key part of a healthy retirement, then anyone who has prematurely cashed out 401(k) savings during their working life has suffered a compound fracture that will require several stages of therapy to fully rehabilitate. But a cash-out isn’t the only impediment to a financially secure retirement for these hardworking Americans.
Auto Portability: Who Will Benefit?
Auto Portability is the routine, standardized and automated movement of an inactive participant’s retirement account from a former employer’s retirement plan to their active account in a new employer’s plan. By dramatically reducing cashouts and improving retirement readiness, Auto Portability will deliver broad benefits to America’s defined contribution system, its participants and to the entire American economy.
But who benefits from Auto Portability, and how?
The Fundamentals of 401(k) Cashout Leakage
How Big is the 401(k) Cashout Leakage Problem?
We’ve known for some years now that 401(k) cashout leakage is a very big problem, but have lacked a thorough understanding of its many dimensions.
The Rallying Cry for Improving Financial Wellness: ‘Eradicate Cash-Out Leakage In Our Time!’
Half a century ago, the global medical community united to wipe out smallpox, an infectious disease that afflicted mankind for millennia. In 1966, the World Health Organization (WHO) established the Smallpox Eradication Programme, which sent Western doctors to vaccinate the populations of nations and communities around the globe where smallpox was still rampant. No place where smallpox cases had been reported, or where the local population was not vaccinated, was overlooked by WHO medical teams, no matter how remote the village or how dangerous the journey.
EBRI Policy Forum Delivers Latest Research on Auto Portability (Video)
On Thursday, May 11th, the Employee Benefit Research Institute (EBRI) conducted their 80th Policy Forum.
Announcing the National Retirement Savings Cash Out Clock
In 1989, New York real estate developer Seymour Durst wanted to highlight America’s rising national debt, and came up with an idea: the National Debt Clock. Since then, the National Debt Clock has had a physical presence as a billboard near Times Square, serving as a constant reminder to Americans of their government’s ever-growing debt.

Automatic Cash-Outs Undermine Efforts to Enhance Financial Wellness
In the spirit of Financial Literacy Month, retirement plan sponsors are to be commended for their commitment to enhance financial wellness among participants. In fact, 76% of employers offer financial health programs for employees, according to the seventh annual survey on corporate health and well-being conducted by Fidelity Investments and the National Business Group on Health® in 2016.
