Building a Foundation of Security: How Social Security Complements Employer Plans

Social Security forms the foundation of retirement security in the United States, a foundation upon which employer-provided plans are built. Social Security plays an important role throughout an employee's life as a primary source of income in retirement as well as protection against the risk of death or disability while working. Employer-provided retirement plans complement Social Security by providing additional sources of retirement income. This webinar will examine the interaction between these different programs and their roles, both pre- and post-retirement.

In this webcast, you'll learn:

• How Social Security functions as the foundation of retirement security, and how employer-provided plans build on top of it
• The role Social Security plays beyond retirement income, including protection against death or disability while working
• How employer-sponsored retirement plans complement Social Security to create additional income sources
• How these programs interact with one another both before and after retirement
• What this interaction means for how employees should think about their overall retirement strategy.
