SECURE 2.0 Act - What You Need to Know - Season 4, Episode 2
Retirement for everyone! After years of study into retirement plans, the government found that many Americans were not covered by a qualified retirement plan. Many people either did not qualify due to their part-time status, did not have access to a retirement plan, or just do not know enough about them to use them.
The government amended Security Act 1.0 in order to provide more inclusive solutions for all Americans. Listen in to learn along with Andrew Zito, COO of Advus Financial Partners LLC, about how the SECURE 2.0 Act will affect your retirement plans and your business.
