Illinois Secure Choice was Built For You

It’s easy to start saving for retirement through Illinois Secure Choice. You can automatically save a part of each paycheck in your own Individual Retirement Account (IRA). Your account stays with you if you change jobs and you can adjust your savings rate and investment elections to fit your savings needs.

Illinois Secure Choice is available to anyone who wants to start saving. It’s simple and only takes a few moments ̶̶ you can enroll today.

If your employer starts facilitating the program, you can be automatically enrolled in the program. Once enrolled, you will automatically start saving a percentage of your paycheck into your own IRA.

Not ready to save?

If now isn’t the right time to start saving for retirement, you may opt out online or by calling the Client Service Team. Before you do, explore how even saving a small amount could impact your retirement savings by using our retirement savings calculator.
