Co-Founder of Red Feather Financial, Dr. Sabrina Scott Reposts A Revised Version Of An Article She Wrote Prior To And In Anticipation Of The Passing Of The SECURE Act

Dr. Sabrina Scott revisits highlights of the new SECURE Act and the significance it has for everyone with a retirement account, anyone working beyond retirement age and/or anyone who is expecting to inherit a large retirement account from a parent or spouse and more.

DECATUR, GA, February 3, 2020: Dr. Sabrina Scott, co-founder of Red Feather Financial, has posted a new article on the firm’s website entitled “How the New SECURE Act Could Affect Your Retirement Account.” Dr. Scott anticipated the passing of the new Act and reposts her revised article to remind readers there are actions that will need to be taken.

Sabrina ScottDr. Scott writes, “Back in June of last year, shortly after the House of Representatives passed the SECURE Act on May 23rd, I wrote a piece for our newsletter anticipating that the act would go all the way through the Senate highlighting the main components of the new act.” She continues, “I am posting the same piece again with slight revisions since the Act went into effect on January 1 of this year.”

“One of the things Victoria and I do to prepare for new clients and continue to serve current clients,” writes Dr. Scott, adding, “is to keep abreast of changes in the law that may impact planning for retirement and long-term care. One of those changes is the Setting Every Community Up for Retirement Enhancement Act of 2019 also known as the SECURE Act. On May 23, 2019, the U.S. House of Representatives passed the SECURE Act by a vote of 417 to 3 and the Senate also passed the act in December.”

As Dr. Scott points out, “This is the biggest change to the U.S. retirement system since 2006 and the Pension Protection Act. The reasons the Act went through are many.” She elaborates, “Americans are living and working longer than ever before, and too many have inadequate savings as they enter retirement. Currently, 40% of private-sector workers do not have access to a workplace retirement plan. The SECURE Act will increase workers’ access to retirement savings and allow them to make contributions for as long as they are working.”

About Dr. Sabrina Scott

Sabrina Scott learned about Veterans Benefits and Medicaid when her parents sought legal services for long-term care. Confident she could find ways to preserve her family’s resources and still get access to Government Assistance, Sabrina felt there should be more options than relying on welfare.

She co-founded Red Feather Financial with Victoria Collier to help those who want to have a plan in place in order not to outlive their resources and who do not want to be a burden to their children.
