Moving Forward from SECURE 2.0: Building on the Law’s Most Effective Provisions, Closing the Access Gap, and Reforming Social Security

This report draws upon CSD’s recent findings on the effects of the SECURE 2.0 Act of 2022 on low-wage workers. Over the past 2 years, the center has administered the Workforce Economic Inclusion and Mobility (WEIM) survey. Drawing on a nationally representative sample of low-wage workers in the United States, this survey aims to identify opportunities for policymakers, employers, and financial service providers to improve this population’s financial well-being and economic mobility. The findings in this report are based on Wave 2 of the WEIM survey, which was administered in the summer of 2024, and focus only on individuals who were employed (including those who were self-employed) at the time of the survey.
