'The Impact of Modifying the Exclusion of Employee Contributions for Retirement Savings Plans From Taxable Income: Results from the 2011 Retirement Confidence Survey,' and 'Employer and Worker Contributions to Account-Based Health Plans, 2006–2010'
Retirement Plan Tax Treatment: New research by EBRI finds that lower-income workers are more likely than upper-income workers to say they would reduce their savings if the tax exclusion for employee contributions to retirement savings plans was lowered or eliminated.
Account-based Health Plans: Contributions from employers to workers’ account-based health plans declined for the second year in a row in 2010, according to new findings by EBRI. However, workers with employee-only coverage responded to the decrease from employers by increasing their own personal contributions; workers with family coverage did not increase their contributions.
