We are so glad that the new online enrollment feature is up and running, but occasionally we come across participants who have not selected the correct employer. Since we have over 2,000 employers in the plan and many have similar names, participants sometimes select the wrong one. Thank you for your patience as we find and correct these new accounts.

2021 EBRI Retirement Confidence Survey
The Employee Benefit Research Institute (EBRI) has released its 2021 Retirement Confidence Survey and it includes interesting information about how Americans view and relate to retirement security. The 2021 survey of 3,017 Americans was conducted online January 5-25, 2021.

Despite all the turmoil of the past year, the survey found that most people maintained a high level of confidence that they would be able to have a comfortable life in retirement. This is good news and could mean retirement-related information is not only helpful to your employees, but welcomed and sought after.

Ohio DC is always on the lookout for information like the 2021 EBRI Survey and we hope the data it provides can help you encourage your staff to save for retirement. Let us know if you would like to learn more about what we offer by visiting Ohio457.org, by calling your local Account Executive, or scheduling an appointment by clicking on your local Account Executive's name on the map.
