Retirement Bill of Rights

We’re on the verge of a historic opportunity to make retirement better for American workers.

We can unleash private sector solutions to close the gaps left by Social Security and the disappearance of private pension plans to provide American workers with more reliable sources of retirement income.

What workers can do

Look forward to every day in retirement

Being prepared for secure retirement income means first knowing where you stand. You might be among the 55 million Americans who don’t have access to a retirement savings plan at work.1 Or you might already be a TIAA participant making regular contributions. Either way, we can help you get on track to the secure retirement income that leads to the dignified retirement everyone deserves.

What employers can do

Employees need your help

About 45% of U.S. households expected to run short of retirement savings.2 Ensuring your retirement plan includes guaranteed lifetime income that employees can count on helps them live better now, and after their careers end.

We can help you review your plan’s investment lineup to be sure you’re providing them the tools they need for confident, meaningful retirement.
