Consumer Agenda for Retirement Security

Initiative #2: Empower workers to promote their own retirement security

E. Coordinate efforts among Department of Labor (DOL) field offices and AoA Pension Counseling Projects.

The AoA pension counseling projects are designed to complement and provide different services than the Labor Department’s EBSA Participant Assistance and Outreach Program.  However, because both programs provide advice and assistance to individuals, there have occasionally been problems of coordination.  The Administration should direct the DOL and AoA to enter into a memorandum of understanding to ensure the most efficient use of resources to assist participants.
