WASHINGTON — U.S. Senator Pat Toomey, R-Pa., commended the Senate Finance Committee for advancing three of his bills as part of the Enhancing American Retirement Now (EARN) Act, the Committee’s comprehensive, bipartisan package of legislation that expands access to retirement resources and encourages saving for the future. Toomey’s legislation—the Protecting Public Safety Employees’ Timely Retirement Act, State and Local Corrections Officer Retirement Fairness Act, and a compromise version of the Long-Term Care Affordability Act—will aid law enforcement, public safety officials, and individuals looking to plan for their futures by purchasing long-term care insurance.

“Saving for retirement reflects smart, long-term planning by American workers. I appreciate Senators Wyden and Crapo including in the EARN Act three bills I’ve authored that will enhance retirement security for many Americans: the Protecting Public Safety Employees’ Timely Retirement Act, the State and Local Corrections Officer Retirement Fairness Act, and an amended version of the Long-Term Care Affordability Act. I’d also like to thank Senator Bennet for his partnership on the Protecting Public Safety Employees’ Timely Retirement Act and the State and Local Corrections Officer Retirement Fairness Act,” said Toomey.
