The agenda for this meeting will focus on focus on how to prepare more Americans to plan and take action for long-term financial goals such as retirement. Additionally, there will be a presentation on Treasury’s myRA -- a simple, safe, and affordable starter retirement savings option for workers who don't have access to a plan at work. myRA has no fees, no risk of losing money and no minimum balance or contribution requirements. The program is designed to remove common barriers to saving, and give people an easy way to get started saving for retirement.

The FLEC is chaired by the U.S. Treasury Department and comprised of 22 federal entities. Its mission is to promote the financial literacy of the American people.
