The Illinois Secure Choice Savings Program ("IL Secure Choice") is an automatic enrollment payroll deduction Roth IRA overseen by the Illinois Secure Choice Savings Board ("Board"). Ascensus College Savings Recordkeeping Services, LLC ("ACSR") is the program administrator. ACSR and its affiliates are responsible for day-to-day program operations. Participants saving through IL Secure Choice beneficially own and have control over their Roth IRAs, as provided in the program offering set out at saver.ilsecurechoice.com.
IL Secure Choice offers investment options selected by the Board. For more information on IL Secure Choice's investment options go to saver.ilsecurechoice.com. Account balances in IL Secure Choice will vary with market conditions. Investments in Secure Choice are not guaranteed or insured by the Board, the State of Illinois, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other organization.
IL Secure Choice is a completely voluntary retirement program. Saving through a Roth IRA will not be appropriate for all individuals. Employer facilitation of IL Secure Choice should not be considered an endorsement or recommendation by your employer of IL Secure Choice, Roth IRAs, or the investment options offered through IL Secure Choice. Roth IRAs are not exclusive to IL Secure Choice and can be obtained outside of the program and contributed to outside of payroll deduction. Contributing to an IL Secure Choice Roth IRA through payroll deduction offers some tax benefits and consequences. You should consult your tax or financial advisor if you have questions related to taxes or investments.
