"We are pleased that Regina is serving as co-chair of our Annual Conference. Her expertise in pensions and retirement policy, the Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC), and healthcare financing are particularly well suited to this conference’s broad focus on the growing insecurity that affects all Americans. NASI is fortunate that Regina has offered her time and talent in this way," said Marilyn Moon, President of NASI and Vice President and Director of the Health Program at the American Institutes for Research.
Professor Jefferson’s teaching interests include individual income taxation, partnership taxation, and ERISA.

She wrote a chapter entitled "The American Dream Savings Account: A Dream or a Nightmare?" which appeared in Taxing America (Karen B. Brown and Mary L. Fellows, editors).

In 2001, Jefferson testified before the Department of Labor’s Working Group on Preparing for Retirement. In 2002, she testified before the United States congress on issues related to retirement security and defined contribution plans.
