The Social Security Administration (SSA) is offering a cooperative agreement for the establishment of a Financial Literacy Research Consortium (FLRC). This grant seeks to create a national resource dedicated to innovative research and development on encouraging savings through improved financial literacy. Recognizing Social Security’s role in retirement, the FLRC, potentially comprising up to two research centers, aims to benefit the public. Its core purpose involves planning and maintaining a multidisciplinary R&D program. The outcomes will primarily include educational products designed to promote savings and effective retirement planning, including decisions around retirement timing and benefit receipt. Additionally, the Consortium may provide research-based recommendations on the design of programs or mechanisms that foster the use of both public and private sector savings plans.
