Earlier Retirement Savings for Caregivers: New Rules

This act allows individuals who took time off work to provide dependent care to start making catch-up contributions to their retirement accounts earlier. This helps them compensate for lost time in building retirement savings, positively impacting their future finances and security.
Key points
Individuals providing dependent care can start making catch-up contributions to Individual Retirement Accounts (IRAs) and employer-sponsored plans earlier.
The age for catch-up contributions (typically 50) will be reduced by the number of years spent out of the workforce for caregiving, provided the period was at least one year and began after age 18.
To qualify, individuals must self-attest under penalty of perjury that their caregiving period meets the specified requirements.
