Automatic Retirement Savings Act of 2025
The Automatic Retirement Savings Act of 2025 establishes a District-managed retirement savings program for private-sector employees in Washington, D.C., who lack employer-sponsored plans, and certain self-employed individuals. It requires automatic 3% wage deductions (with opt-out options) for eligible workers, managed by a new Retirement Savings Board, to build retirement savings. Accounts are portable across jobs since the District, not employers, manages them - addressing gaps for approximately 173,000 current workers without workplace retirement options.
