Encouraging our participants to engage in saving for a secure retirement is one of the top priorities at Ohio DC. Thanks to a communication technique called enhanced active choice (EAC), which we use in some of our forms and informational materials, we're able to help lead our participants toward this goal. Learn more about EAC here.
The Early Savers Newsletter is Available
Not everyone has the same retirement savings goals, especially people who are at different stages in their careers. For that reason, we put together the
Early Savers Newsletter twice a year. The idea behind the
Early Savers Newsletter, is that we want to reach out to participants who are 35 years old and younger. Check out the latest
Early Savers Newsletterhere.

DOL Fiduciary Rule Takes Effect
The Department of Labor's new Fiduciary Rule has officially gone into effect. The new rule requires anyone acting as a fiduciary to take the best interests of their client into consideration when recommending financial advice, rather than their own financial considerations.
The purpose of the new Fiduciary Rule is to try to protect people who are investing for their retirement, from unscrupulous financial advisors, who may be more interested in commissions, than their client's retirement. If you would like to learn more about the DOL Fiduciary Rule, visit this link.
