Brookings Institution Proposes SECURE 3.0 Reforms to Enhance U.S. Retirement Savings System

Brookings Institution Proposes SECURE 3.0 Reforms to Enhance U.S. Retirement Savings System

The Brookings Institution has put forth proposals for 'SECURE 3.0,' aiming to address persistent gaps in the U.S. retirement saving system. Building on the SECURE Act and SECURE 2.0, which expanded retirement plan coverage and encouraged automatic saving, these new recommendations focus on improving the targeting of tax subsidies, broadening access to workplace retirement plans, and promoting lifetime income options. The institution highlights that despite previous reforms, millions of workers still lack easy ways to save for retirement, and employers are hesitant to offer lifetime income solutions. The proposals seek to restore lifetime income to retirement plans by establishing partial annuitization as an automatic payout default in defined contribution plans, thereby allowing employers to offer this option without additional fiduciary risk. This initiative aims to provide retirees with low-cost protection against longevity risk and simplify complex financial decisions, effectively reintroducing a form o...

U.S. District Court Rejects OLC Interpretation of CFPB Funding, Upholding Bureau's Financial Autonomy

On September 25, 2026, Judge Ann Aiken of the U.S. District Court for the District of Oregon ruled against the Office of Legal Counsel's (OLC) interpretation of the funding mechanism for the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB). This decision marks the third time a federal district judge has rejected the OLC's view. The CFPB's funding, unlike most government agencies, does not come from annual congressional appropriations but rather from the Federal Reserve System's 'combined earnings.' The OLC had previously interpreted 'combined earnings' to mean the Federal Reserve's profits after deducting expenses, including interest expenses. This interpretation led to the conclusion that when the Federal Reserve operated at a loss, no funds were available for the CFPB. Acting Director Russell Vought adopted this interpretation, declining to request additional funding. Judge Aiken, however, held that 'combined earnings' refers to the Federal Reserve's gross revenues before any expenses are deducted. She also a...
