Federal Spending Bill Affects Retirement, Savings in Cincinnati

Included in the $1.7 trillion federal spending bill signed into law last month are provisions that could affect Americans' retirement and savings decisions.

Mike Neugent, assistant finance professor-educator and director of the MS Finance program, told WVXU's "Cincinnati Edition" that a provision in the new bill that caught his eye was the automatic enrollment option for new retirement plans.

"The person is automatically enrolled in the program - you have to opt out," Neugent said. "Regrettably, a lot of employees have access to plans, but don't participate."
