Season 2 Episode 54: Changes in the SECURE Act for 2024 – and we answer your questions

The SECURE 2.0 Act that passed in December 2022 has over 90 provisions to encourage more people to save for retirement. But weeding through those provisions can be daunting. In this episode of Edelman Financial Engines’ Everyday Wealth™, Jean and wealth planner Isabel Barrow go through some of those changes that may have a big impact on retirees and pre-retirees, including provisions to employer matching contributions for student loan payments, 529 plans and Roth IRAs.

Later, Jean and Isabel answer listener questions, like how much to withdraw annually from 401(k) plans in retirement, what to expect from Social Security in the future, and what options are available for health care coverage for retirees before age 65.

Ms. Chatzky receives cash compensation for acting as hosts of the Everyday Wealth radio show and podcast and for related activities and therefore has an incentive to endorse Edelman Financial Engines and its planners.  That compensation is a fixed sum paid on an annual basis; and reimbursement for certain expenses.  The amount paid each year does not vary, is not based on show content or any results-dependent factors (e.g., popularity of the show).

This show is pre-recorded, and any callers are prescreened.
