The study focuses on the benefits to be paid under different forms of individual account proposals. The study considers the implications of the design of payout rules for families at different stages of life with particular attention to economically disadvantaged groups. The study also addresses how any new individual account program would fit with traditional Social Security, employer-based pensions and tax-advantaged individual retirement savings (e.g. IRAs), as well as Individual Development Accounts (IDAs) targeted to low-income households.
