Student loans can hold your employees back—and their retirement savings too. A student loan matching program can change that.
How a student loan matching program works:
- Employees make their student loan payments.
- Employers match those payments with retirement contributions.
Why it’s a game-changer:
- Attract talent: 40% of workers would change jobs for better benefits.[1]
- Boost wellness: Help employees pay loans and save for the future.
- Stay competitive: Stand out, especially with Millennials and Gen Z.
Starting in 2025, SECURE 2.0 makes it easier to match loan payments with retirement contributions. Is this program right for your team?
