Committee on Education and Labor - U.S. House of Representatives

Retirement Security

Every American deserves a secure retirement after a lifetime of hard work. The Committee on Education and Labor is committed to providing workers with the tools they need to support themselves during retirement.

401(k) savings plans have become many Americans' primary source of retirement income. The Committee has been investigating hidden fees that can cut deeply into workers' retirement savings, and Chairman George Miller has introduced legislation to require disclosure of these fees in order to provide both employers sponsoring 401(k) plans and employees participating in these plans with the information necessary to make informed decisions.


Workers Deserve Clear Information on 401(k) Fees

On Wednesday, April 16, the House Education and Labor Committee will vote on the 401(k) Fair Disclosure for Retirement Security Act (H.R. 3185), legislation to ensure that American workers have clear and complete information about fees that could be cutting deeply into their 401(k)-style retirement savings.
