Recognizing October as National Retirement Security Month

This bill designates October as National Retirement Security Month to highlight the importance of retirement planning and financial literacy. It directly affects New York State employees and workers by encouraging them to learn about existing retirement options like the State's Defined Benefit Plan and the Secure Choice Savings Program. The resolution calls for increased education on these programs and advises individuals to seek guidance from qualified financial experts to maximize their benefits. By pausing legislative deliberations to acknowledge this month, the bill aims to raise awareness about long-term financial security without changing any laws or funding levels.
