On February 10, 2021, the Wisconsin Retirement Security Task Force, established in 2019 by the Governor’s executive order, published its final report recommending policy solutions to improve retirement security for Wisconsinites. The report recommends a state-facilitated auto-IRA in addition to developing options to save for emergencies and a new child’s savings account. The CRI is honored to have contributed to the work of this Task Force.
