The Michigan Office of Retirement Services (ORS) is a 2024 Savings Champion Award recipient from America Saves.
ORS was honored for effectively and actively promoting savings strategies during America Saves Week, which ran April 8-12, 2024, during Financial Literacy Month. ORS was 1 of 18 organizations recognized out of 4,600-plus participants.
During America Saves Week, ORS highlighted savings strategies that help with retirement savings and urged saving for what matters most. You can do that by saving automatically, for the unexpected, for major milestones, and at any age. Also, realize that paying down debt is saving.
