## [How to Contain the Damage from the Small-Account Explosion](https://blog.rch1.com/blog/how-to-contain-the-damage-from-the-small-account-explosion)

[![Employee Benefit News](https://blog.rch1.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Publications/EBN/ebnimage.jpg?width=200&name=ebnimage.jpg "Employee Benefit News")](https://www.benefitnews.com/opinion/how-to-reunite-employees-with-their-old-401-k-accounts)Much has been written about the proliferation of small accounts in our nation’s retirement system, and [the problems that this explosion has created](https://www.benefitnews.com/opinion/why-small-retirement-accounts-are-the-root-of-many-problems). A primary solution to the small-account quandary that I have frequently advocated in this column is auto portability.

## [The Exit Bonus Employers Never Intended to Pay](https://blog.rch1.com/blog/the-exit-bonus-employers-never-intended-topay)

## [Rising Healthcare Costs Necessitate Healthy Retirement-Saving Habits](https://blog.rch1.com/blog/rising-healthcare-costs-necessitate-healthy-retirement-saving-habits)

[![Employee Benefit News](https://blog.rch1.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Publications/EBN/ebnimage.jpg?width=200&name=ebnimage.jpg "Employee Benefit News")](https://www.benefitnews.com/opinion/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.

## [The Rallying Cry for Improving Financial Wellness: ‘Eradicate Cash-Out Leakage In Our Time!’](https://blog.rch1.com/blog/eradicate-cash-out-leakage-in-our-time)

![Employee Benefit News](https://blog.rch1.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Publications/EBN/ebnimage.jpg?width=200&name=ebnimage.jpg "Employee Benefit News")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](http://www.who.int/features/2010/smallpox/en/), 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.

![Employee Benefit News](https://blog.rch1.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Publications/EBN/ebnimage.jpg?width=200&name=ebnimage.jpg "Employee Benefit News")In the spirit of Financial Literacy Month, retirement plan sponsors are to be commended for their commitment to enhance financial wellness among participants.
