Understanding Student Loan Matching Programs in Texas

Student loans can hold your employees back—and their retirement savings too. A student loan matching program can change that. 

How a student loan matching program works:

  • Employees make their student loan payments. 
  • Employers match those payments with retirement contributions. 

Why student loan matching is a game-changer for plan sponsors:

  • Attract talent: 40% of workers would change jobs for better benefits.1 
  • Boost wellness: Help employees pay loans and save for the future. 
  • Stay competitive: Stand out, especially with Millennials and Gen Z. 

Starting in 2025, SECURE 2.0 makes it easier to match loan payments with retirement contributions. Is this program right for your team? CONTACT US if you’d like PK Retirement’s help in keeping your employees connected with additional valuable resources.
